Best Bookworm Poems

Today is the first day of school
the summer too short at the pool
	school days are long
	this is so wrong 
I think going to school isn’t cool
 
My father insists that I go
though I argued loud with a No
	I squawk and squirm
	I’m no bookworm
sure I know...

    who loved to read all the time!
    books here, books there,
    books anywhere, books everywhere -

I'm the ultimate
bookworm
my mother, God Bless her,
taught me the joy
of reading
of writing
of using thought
for something
a  little more meaningful
than cars, popularity
money or fame
in books
your mind can travel
there are no barriers
for you
each book adds
another flavor
to your being
another star
to your mind's sky
they are things
of beauty
because you share...

When I was young, I took ballet
or in the sun with friends I'd play.
but once in school I learned to read,
on stories I began to feed,
especially when days were grey!

Upon the bed or couch I lay
for hours, and nobody could sway
me from it! It became...

home again, jiggety-jog
oh, how kindly my castle welcomes me!
the pungent loves of earlier meals and my dear one's perfume
Je Reviens and Acqua Di Gioia

like manna for the sensual senses
a weary man dripping from a weary day, but no more
I leave my mundane muddle on the...

Blue skies changed to scarlet
Sunset fell beneath the starlet

A pasture of stars, shimmering
Following the moon’s glimmering

Beautiful night, whispering light
Kissing with laughter so bright

It was heaven’s stillness, smiling
Breathing joy and hope, beguiling

As the caterpillar wandered, alone
Oh, my, how his belly did groan

He had eaten all the...

She sat in a corner and read and read,
continued to read as she lay in bed;
I guess she is clever - her brain won't rust
(although she's surrounded by piles of dust!)

just some silliness written 26th December for Sara's contest (about the reading option)...

I am a little Bookworm
I live inside a book
     I wriggle 
           I writhe 
I make humans beings squirm
For when they open up my book
They don’t expect to see a worm

Begins with Rupert Bear,
Until that was found too square;
The Just William came on the scene,
But soon became a childish has-been.

Youth-filled reading,a melanged mix,
Biggles & squadron,sixty-six;
The hero,Algy & Ginger against the hun,
Adventures that made him number one.

Onto Enid's Famous Five,
Long before PC, could deprive;

Introvert, Wanderer, Daydreamer, Caregiver
Daughter of Carolyn, Sister of Susan, Mr. Peabody's Mom
Lover of the sound of rain, comfy slippers, and my husband's smile
Who feels imperfect, inquisitive, and impulsive
Who fears icy roads, large bugs, and dentists
Who would like to see compassion, common sense, and gratitude

No print on hand-held screens can draw her in...
for only hard-bound, covered books are gems;
held close with love, absorbing through her eyes,
those magic words that fill her heart and mind.

At just months old, she trembled at their sight...
small story books grasped firmly in her hands.
