Tower of Books

A tower of good books she piled high; collection grew faster than space; tower loomed behind a door. Ceiling-bound, tower was; but like all towers, what climbs; may fall. Tower fell atop her!

Great form to use. The shape formed like books ready to fall!

Thanks, it's odd that you should say that; in my journal, it's written to look like falling books. Thanks so much for reading and commenting.

I can relate to this vivid picture which you present, ML!! My bookcases are all jam-packed, and in my room I'm surrounded by piles of books which I keep hoarding albeit no space available! Regards // paul

What does one do? I prefer the thrill of books without having to boot up anything and so I keep collecting and reading and re-reading. Glad to know that I'm not the only book-hoarder; also glad that you stopped by to read and comment.

I'm telling you a bookcase or two is the answer before you come to be that hoarder with twelve cats!

True story...actually, I was reading about 7 of them, at the same time; (a habit I have); whatever mood I'm in; that's the one I grab and read a chap or two, first. thanks again.
