Bookworm Poems

Premium MemberThe Last Bookworm

Expelled from paradise, directed down to hell
Whose court is talking about justice here?
Yours are the apples, and your garden blooms so well
Pick any fruit, and treat the snake, my dear
The cruel punishment will never put them right, 
Your congregation of the disingenuous slaves 
The triumph of the law will not be glorified
By their rants expanded

A bookworm me..believe myself to be artistic, reflective, compassionate, spiritual.
Sister of Tamal, an artist and a poet...inspired by the talents of my brother.
Love to vision three goals accepted by the world - women empowerment, justice for all, equal opportunities for children. 
I feel grateful, blissful, content with what I am born with.
I do fear direct

Bookworm-PS

It was a dark and stormy night, or so the story goes
Another of those wondrous tales to keep us on our toes
Like looking glass and wonderland, grim witches and their spells
Peter Pan and his lost boys, the lovely Tinkerbell
The days I’ve spent lost to the world, so snug inside a book
The villains who are best

Silverfish you are well-named,
Silver you have; and fish? Fake!
I haven't read all these books, famed,
Is it, hence, their ribs you break...?

Maps many you neatly mold,
With holes, in nooks, nicely knit;
Throats of my poem books, old,
Have you, dear, knowingly slit...??

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 pretty flowers
Before the skies filled with showers

Soon turning such a

Bookworm

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)

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 all there is to know
 
Dad threatened to kick me

Premium MemberVivacious Bookworm

Virile bibliophile -
Volumes, his vaunted prey -
Vibrant and versatile.
Voracious in a way, 
Vastly varied in style.
Versed quite literary, 
Vermin literally.

She took that ring, that giant promise ring.
We all saw it, stunned, really, she’s much too young.
He saw her as the one, didn’t want to look around,
But she did, she saw the get out clause, before
A huge mistake. Now the field is open wide —
College by her side, the bookworm set.

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

How silly
these homosapiens
     Do they not realize

Premium MemberA Young Bookworm

I have always loved to read since I was a young child
I read Charlotte’s Web over and over, I was beguiled
I would walk for miles to the town library every week
And brought home books my parents didn’t like, sometimes freak

When I was nine, I climbed a ten-foot built-in bookcase in our house
My parents were sleeping

Premium Membermy little bookworm -

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 welcome mat
for I know what awaits

what's this - an unmade

Premium MemberBookworm - When I Was Young

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 my need
