Girl in transit

Girl in transit

A Poem by John Butler
"

A young girl in love with books and poetry dives from the high-board of her dreams into a book of verse.Truly lost in books!

"
Elegant, poised ten metres high
Backward take-off, gentle sigh
Co-ordinates set, aligned her vector
Now midflight, defined her sector

Girl in transit, margin narrow
Approaching target, archers arrow
Sudden impact, sweet immerse
Pool of prose, soaked in verse

Mind in motion, brain engage
Drenched to skin, wet turn of page
Fathom deep, deeper still
Enraptured reader, held at will

Time held still, hours pass by
Language head rush, highest high
Full on contact, no reverse
Girl in transit, soaked in verse
