Reading and Writing

Trying my hand in poems...

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

Audrey,

I loved it! It was definitely different from my normal style of poetry- which was nice.
I'll definitely be adding this to my favorites~ Great job.

Hi Aud,
I really like the poem! Can you try using broken meter though? i.e. dashes etc...
But other than that I thought it was great!
