Ode to a Book: A Poem by H

On Sunday I helped H complete his poetry project for school. He wrote this fabulous poem and gave permission to share it here.  We did a few cool photos to go with it as well.

Ode to a Book

Mysteries and adventures trapped inside

A thick body of paper

And leather

Wonders

Waiting for the next reader

To enjoy the magic

Of delight, happiness, sadness and sorrow

Books are filled with imagination

Which the readers shall enjoy

Pages that turn with beauty

And excitement

And curiosity for the next chapter

Story of any kind

You choose

Look through the library

Any shelf

Take your pick

Spine sometimes ripped

Sometimes smooth

It doesn’t matter

Just pick it up

Open it

And enjoy                                 By H, January 19, 2014

H: “Hey Finnegan, do you want to hear something from my H.G.Wells collection??”
