Browsing the library

For a good book to read.

For a lazy Sunday

I have an interest in poetry.


I walk to the poetry section

Searching for something new.

Do I search with a question?

I barely have few.


I spot a  yellow book

Maybe three inches thick

What type is this? I ask.

Then I go to take a look


It looks like a poem collection

Starting with "Poem of Length"

I start with this section;

Diving into words of strength.


I read the first stanza,

The second, the third

Is this a propaganda?

This poem is absurd


I keep on reading

When will this stop?

I've covered three pages

Anymore, I might drop!


This same old poem

Stretching longer and longer

It's not even broken!

I'm going bonkers!


This is a long poem

It keeps spiraling down

This is an endless poem

It's got the insanity crown


My eyes can't rip away

My mind can't think

This poem is bewitching me

Of death, I'm on the brink


Oh when will it stop

When will I be free

I should've been home

Helping my nanny


I finally flip the final page

I finally read the final verse

I finally released my irritant rage

I'm finally free from this demon's curse


I drop the book.

I turn to flee.

Look back, I won't.

Don't go to that library


Don't ask questions

Please just don't.

That book is cursed

It should be blown.
