Books!

The enchantment

of books

 

Elegant words written

upon an empty page

 

Bringing the imagination

of the reader to life

 

Pen to parchment

writing poetry and prose

 

A beautifully bound cover

with pages laced in gold

 

What a wonderful treasure

lies waiting to be read

 

The enchantment

of books

What a lovely poem. It reminds me of that "opening a present" feeling when you read a really great old book. :)

This is exactly how I feel about books! I love to collect antique books. Your poem has captured how I feel about my collection. Great description. Wonderful poem!
