Libraries

I am a book
Given to myself by my mother, given to herself by hers, and so on
I am a name
Given to me by my own pages turning past the last
Wording on my skin, lifted with water and vinegar
I am a book; cover bent and misshapen
Used up and abused, books stole past me
One another telling lies,

THANKFUL FOR LOVE AND GARDENS AND LIBRARIES

Today I’m thankful for love, and gardens and libraries
for many philosophers and experts have agreed…
If you have 
love, 
a garden 
and a library…
you have everything you need.

Libraries Have Everything I Need

It is all here
the quietude I needed
the silence I require
The solitude I covet

So I can delve into a book
Becoming the heroine, or the hero,
living the life we all want to lead

I sit for hours, soaking up new personas
Loving myself more every minute

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry

Libraries Are Obsolete

Classics, mysteries, autobiographies, adventure stories and everything else
Filling this terrific library from side to side, floor to window, ceiling to top shelf.
It is a book reader’s dream, until the entire concept gets bumped out by technology.
Now all of our favorite books can be uploaded on our tablets, a fine use of lexicology.

Nigerian Libraries of Yesterday

Repositories of The British-Donated:
Of texts like bombs detonated;
Books from their libraries discharged;
The-Given-Out, not a dime charged …

A Harvest of The Happily Released
Because of The New that must be increased;
Books that have lost The Right to Remain There,
Better reasonably dumped elsewhere
Between The Hard paper Back
Like strong keys to hack
And The Partly Fragile of Skin 
Whose sight

Poerty

Anyone can write a poem
I mean, they’ve never passed a law
and with the quick access to paper
and all.

Of course, the serial poet’s the danger
that keeps us up at night - someone lacking 
the gene for rhyme control. Normal people can’t
imagine such wonton, naked promiscuity with words.

It’s best that we ignore them - to nip it

Libraries

Library, temple
          of knowledge...
          Promoter of knowledge...
          Ascesis of the meat with
          reading...

Libraries On Fire

BURNING LIBRARIES

The affliction on spreads
Akin to a wildfire it rages
It raves the old the weak
Did 1 John say the meek..
Covid covert conveyed`..
Corona wildfire burning
An old person is a library
Yet the affliction targets..
Billions Giga Sir-viva'l data
On blink of extinction...
Was covert now it's overt
Said Donido T.. The shark
Corona is not a virus from
Machino It is a Chino

Lonely Libraries

(English Sonnet Rhyme in Iambic Tetrameter)

What tomes in lonely corners dwell
where undisturbed and rimmed with dust,
forgotten tales that once were held
and stained with tears and love and lust -
now sit untouched like aging queens;
more interest in apparent heirs
like Kindle tablets - pageless screens,
dull bootless script where no one shares.
So empty when a page is turned,
no

Public Libraries

They are high state of art,
 renovated or brand new.
 In the hallway greets you fountain,
 sculpture, statue or the painting.
 
Escalators, elevators
 or the stairs will lead you up.
 Decorated walls in wood
 and uncounted standing books.
 
They will quench your every anguish.
 They have books in every language –
 second or the one

Libraries

Libraries are said to be 
Treasure house of books,
Books here, books there
On racks high and low.

Culture and heritage
Thoughts of writers and poets,
All in a room for those
In thirst of knowledge.

Newspapers and magazines
For the current news,
Books on history and
Present affairs.

No noise or overcrowding
Just the noise of flipping pages,
A peaceful work in libraries,
Result in increasing knowledge.

The Libraries Are Warm

For a bum like myself,
the libraries are warm.
I walk down cold and lonesome
avenues and deserted streets
and I am cold and lonely.
I clench at my heart
to stop the flame,
that keeps me warm,
Keep it from going out.
I go and walk,
my hands are numb,
my face and ears are blacken
and frostbitten,
and I go into the library.
The building filled with
