Read Me

stay with me don’t go
linger a little longer
read a page or two
get to know me better

take me in
one piece then another
get to know me
one nibble at a time

Reading is such a fantastic part of the human experience - reading faces, reading feelings, reading people and reading poetry. I think this could pertain to all of those and more.

Ofcourse, I was captured by your title, Line, and then I was enchanted by your impassioned plea. Heartfelt, compelling and beautiful poetry. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan

Thank you so much for your lovely visit and comment, Susan. We all understand that 1) the me in a poem is not necessarily the me of the poet - and 2) the poet doesn't always feel compelled to explain which is which. LOL
