Tales of The Poets
Authors and writers, poets of all;
We are a group of scribers
You can see down our halls.
On documents, on paper,
In books that we read.
Writing our words;
As if no one is watching
Choosing our letters
Writing poems: Oh, so touching!
Scribers we are;
We bring it with style
Sit down, relax
Read for a

The Bookcase
A room without a view, unkempt for many a long year
Dusty aging book slanting within a bookcase
Closet doors creaked, the wide boarded floors moaned as I walk
Adjacent to the bookcase is a stone fire place with iron kettles aside.
Am mystified who lived here, how long ago?
I was led by a path that I had not

The New Bookcase
We ordered a bookcase.
It came in a box.
To put it together,
We had to outfox
Supposed instructions –
All pics, not a word.
Yet we carried on –
We would not be deterred!
We had the right tools,
All the nails, all the screws
And with plenty of time
We had nothing to lose.
We made some mistakes
But they all got repaired

The knowledge you would acquire,
Would cost you a fortune at any college

The bookcase is loaded
With topics for all genres.
And you will feel the joy, written inside, in time.

Friendship's Bookcase
I love the friendships I find
that take root in the fruit of the mind;
words we share, disclosing our hearts,
beautiful gifts of emotion impart.
Like a wine, long aged and fine,
distilled vintage of very best vine,
we join together now to share
what we learned while walking Life's thoroughfare.
Your road is different than mine,
sometimes stormy, sometimes sunshine,
but when we

The Bookcase
In the sitting room by the wall stands
Great Grandfather's pride and joy
The glass fronted mahogany bookcase
Scratched and worn, but still majestic
Housing beautiful old books
The choices of generations past
A set of Shakespeare Plays, leather bound
'Great Short Stories of the World' and
'The Lost World of the Kalahari'
Books on Botany and even Hypnosis
With Classics to improve the mind
Much
