Voracious

A Poem by Penulis Kecil

When we hunger to escape, there are so many avenues we can take.

She doesn't write anymore,

just devours books like souls

eats the characters

swallowing down traits

and thoughts.

Voracious,

she is consuming entire lives

one word at a time.

I love the idea of the reader becoming the lives in the books that she avidly reads. A wonderful expression of escapism through fiction. It's absolutely perfect! 100/100

And it's so good to see you here on Writers Cafe again! Congratulations for all the contest wins and placements in March/April!!!
