Perfect form .I read so many nooks, then all through college, I like non fiction,… For poets ,,,ee Cummings, whiman Shakespeare, I like metrics,, classical poetry best, These days with my vision going, I cannot read as much here or in books. Librivoc has books to listen to. Pangie

Reading books is a great pleasure, I used to read alot and it relaxed me too but after studying for 6 years between 44 and 50 years of age for my two degrees, and reading so many books, I felt swamped, until I discovered Poetry Soup, and now I read and write poetry which is one of the passions in life. I can see reading is one of your passions as you tell us so eloquently in this and your 2nd last poem. Hugs and blessings my friend Paula. Jennifer.

Ahh, this is such a wonderful pleiades poem, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and perhaps books are the most beautiful canvases for us dreamers of poetic words.. "Read pages into life" I absolutely love that line, so evocative and gorgeous.. The 'R' magic is really coming into life here, congratulations on the lovely win :)
