What a clever free verse my dear friend, I love it and yes when one has read a fantasy or mystery book, your dreams are of what you have just read, and reading a book makes one sleepy and relaxed until the book falls upon you. be well Paula, hugs and blessings Jennifer.

I had a Big smile by my end of reading this & read it 1/2 doz times! Found your play of “pages” & “life” soooo spectacular, unexpected, affecting, BRILLIANT (like fireworks’ light in my mind). My family loved books, pych, hist, poetry, lit. Lived in a library! 8-) when 14: babysat 4 a kid & only ‘book’ in home was TV guide! 8-O
