I love them...


Poem Artwork

They nurture me,
They amaze me,
They create life,
They make me cry,
They make me laugh…

When asked do I read,
I answer fervently, yes I read,
And have forever read.
Though I may not be well read,
Though for myself, I am thus…

This is the way for me,
The way to the next life,
The way to eternal happiness,
If read I can, then I must,
Till I am and even after, dust.

In my younger years, while in college, I was always reading and am back in the habit of doing so. Great poem, ED!

Always,
Deborah

To that I will say, "Read till you are red. At least until you are filled up with words and well fed. You probably will be reading on the day you are dead. And don't let this rhyme go to your head. ;-)

When I am finishing one book, I must always have the next book ready to take in hand when I am done. Wonderful idea for a poem. John

Wish I were more of a reader but alas I am not.
Your poetry is getting deeper with each poem, keep up the excellent work and great imagination.
