Poetry from Inside my Head

Books

I sit here at my desk

and look up

and see books.

Books, books, so many books.

Red and yellow and every-color books.

Tall and short and in-between books

Short books, novels, and books in 10 part series

Good books, great books, books I want to read

Ouch! A paper cut. Books that make me bleed.

Books that are scary and give me chills.

Books that are funny and give me thrills.

Some of these books are really quite trash.

This one just comes off too brash.

But no matter how different they all seem

They all have a spine.

They all have a plot.

They all have words and pages.

They are all

just

books.
