Books

dusty cover
puff of life
tearing bind
infinite strife
inked on words
meanings like a knife
a book I hold
story shrill as a fife

I like the poem but it feels a bit strained as if you placed the rhyme above the content. There should be (in a rhyming poem) an equal balance of rhyme TO content. This is a very short write and doesn't allow a great deal of analysis. But I'll read a few of your other works to get a more detailed perspective of your individual vision. I see that you are a young writer and I like to encourage all young writers. Writing has been a passion of mine for many years, particularly poetry. I was quite impressed by your profile summary. You seem very bright and creative. Keep writing.

thank you very much for your analysis! I appreciate that a lot!

[Emmalisa Tilli]

I agree, but I personally love your short little poem - it does describe "books" in general. I think you should try and write some more. I love the idea :)

[Ezekiel Silver]

[Phillitup]

love books, love this :) in school people think I'm weird because I love the smell of old books, the feel of a nice hardback, opening a stiff old book and taking care to not break the gentle spine... yeah, I'm a bit weird. I just love books. Everything here is so wonderfully true, and the rhyming is catchy :) great write ~em

[Phillitup]

Thanks! I think the same way of books!

[Lina Grey]

a short little ditty, about books. I agree with Fabian, it does seem a little strained as far as the rhyming goes, but I love the imagery and the feel. There's nothing quite like an old book... :)

[Phillitup]

thanks

Wow! This poem is brilliant:) it made my eyes start itching with the (imaginary) dust from the (imaginary) book and my heart jump up with joy. So short, yet so meaningful and lively. Your imagery is wonderful:) The rhyming scheme had me hooked. Keep writing!

[Phillitup]

Thank you very much! I am allergic to dust so, sadly, old books make me sick. Oddly enough, I like the smell and feel of books. They're amazing!

[AK]

Books do indeed have a unique feel about them :)

[Annabelle Lee]

I loved the poem. And it feels very nostalgic, There's no better a smell than an old hardback.

[Phillitup]
