Beware of the man of one book ~ St Thomas Aquinas
 
CLOSED BOOK
 
How narrow are the lines of words
When set to march in form unheard
For trapped within the binding's jail
Their shackled voices echo frail
 
With dust upon the heights of page
The words are set and free from age
Constance fortifies the the fiction
For blind men can't see contradiction

A very thought provoking write my friend, with wisdom within. I like what Ed said, "A closed book is the same as a closed mind!" To open a book and take the time to read is a wonderful experience that many unfortunately don't take the time to enjoy! A well thought out, well written and wise write indeed! Enjoyed!
Blessings,
Joyce B.

As Andy is constantly telling me, the man who WON'T read is as poor as the man who CAN'T read... I'm only too guilty, I'm afraid... Need to carve out libraries of time in which to do more. You have such an agile brain, Anita, when it comes to the most wistful and penetrating poetic and rhyming expression - always intuitive yet sharply incisive; edifying as well as wise with a hidden wisdom that seems to come from and be as old as the earth itself. How lucky are we to have the privilege of reading you! :)) Sublime, thank you. Kate xx

I don't believe in living my life from a set of rules..
Being natural and spontaneous is the best way.
Thought provoking piece from your gilded pen Anita !

Okay Anita, I may have said this before, but I will say it again:
You NEVER cease to amaze me, especially with your ability to achieve depth of topic, content, form and feel, even in a small space of a gem of a poem. -- Jeff

Very strong with almost a crypic feel about it as if some buried secret concealed between the lines.
