M. L. Kiser Poet Nonet

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!

Kim Rodrigues July 27, 2017 at 7:26 AM Great form to use. The shape formed like books ready to fall! M. L. Kiser July 28, 2017 at 2:21 AM 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.

Paul Callus July 25, 2017 at 4:04 PM 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 M. L. Kiser July 27, 2017 at 2:29 AM 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.

Dale Gregory Cozart July 21, 2017 at 4:39 PM I'm telling you a bookcase or two is the answer before you come to be that hoarder with twelve cats! M. L. Kiser July 21, 2017 at 9:26 PM Absolutely; that habit is not good; a bookshelf is a wonderful thing. Thanks

Demetrios Trifiatis July 21, 2017 at 3:15 PM All this before she had the chance to read them? What a pity! Haha! Well formed my friend M.L. kiser! M. L. Kiser July 21, 2017 at 3:19 PM 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.
