Notes About The Poem

This is poem #4 of my Poetry Portfolio for class.

Poetry Portfolio--Young Adult Novel

Move along pages
Youth complies little
Breathing swiftens
Novel leaves nothing
But a heartbeat lost
Towards the novel
The internal contents read
As time brings down the senses
No human can endure
The pages therein
And heartache ensues
Over nothing real
