Example from Billy Collins' poem :
"Reading Myself To Sleep"
"and the only movement in the night is the slight
swirl of curtains, the easy lift and fall of my breathing,
and the flap of pages as they turn in the wind of my hand."
See it sounds as if the person is reading at the moment not writing a poem..SK
