A Book Is A Fridge

Open a fridge

And see what's inside

Open a book 

And behold your mid

Left over foods from yesterday

Located at the bottom left

Recall what you've read the last time

To get that feeling again

Chocolates located at the upper part of the door

That will make you awake all night

The mango-flavored ice cream in the freezer

That could give you a sweet taste of winter

The pizzas and sodas

In the middle part of the fridge

How delicious it would be to eat

Under the warm moonlight

The milk that sits on the rack 

That gives strength to the bones

To support the toil

Of the brain that works

A fridge is like a book

Once you open it

A lot of things can be found

A lot of ideas travel your mind

I haven't been reading at the cafe for a couple weeks (writing binge) & so this is my first poem that I'm reading in a while. This is a brilliant poem! I love the analogy & I love that you use so many popping details that appeal to all the senses. I feel this poem, overall, is more focused on the fridge, but not so much the book. I would've loved to see more observations of the book experience, using bright details like you describe what's in the fridge. But I wouldn't change this poem. I'm just saying, in the future, don't be afraid to take your time & dive in to even more details (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
