Reading & Writing

 

Reading is my life,

My everyday activity

Every morning, day, and night

I keep a book somewhere near

A new world waiting to be discovered

By me, the reader

 

Earth fades away,

I'm no long me,

I'm swept off my feet

By description and imagery

 

My brain's in a new body

My personality altered

My hearts beats loudly

As I turn each page

 

The book reveals its magic

It's characterisitics revealed,

Once I've found the right key

To find its inner core

It willingly lets me

Go deeper and explore

 

when the book reaches it's finish,

and shuts off the lights

my brain returns to me,

and leaves me with smile

and gently nudges me

out the door of fiction

This is so well explained, I feel related to it! well done. Reading is such a beautiful thing, and it can kidnapp you into another world, when it's needed~ Very well done.

Wow, you really captured the emotions of a book addict! I never would have guessed this was your first poem, it is so well "plotted" and the language is so precise and sweeping. Love it!

Wow. A great poem for a first. Congrats. :) This is totally relatable. It's really awesome how a string of words can transport us to different worlds and make us experience stuff that may never happen in this world. Great job. Keep on writing! ;)

This happens to me as well. I can relate because whenever I read a book or story, I get ideas to write something new and along with that this poem is very self-descriptive. We get sucked into a world of imagination and that's what makes this poem so true to itself.

You should stop and give yourself a pat on the back, I liked your poem very much! Reading takes your mind and places it another world (far away from reality) and I think your poem really captured that concept.

Sweet work!
