In the library, a sacred book and talisman, hidden

An amicable keeper sat, with his bottle of scotch

Each night he’d weasel his way, into the forbidden

His mea culpa was spilling it, thus, leaving a splotch

 

Word of the Day – Mea culpa

The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”.  You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you.  More info can be found in the link below.


Hidden deep, underneath, the crystal chandelier

A place so full of wonder, some say you’ll disappear

Into other’s imaginations, and places of unknown

Perhaps you’ll even find yourself, sat upon a throne

Oh, the many places, a book or two, will take you

Inside, secrets held, which perchance, could wake you

Watch the crystal ball, as it spins its magical spell

What happens next, friends, you simply cannot quell

Mystery and power, oh! And dragons, dance in rhyme

Guaranteed, I have no doubt, you’ll have a marvelous time!

So, step inside my parlor, grab a seat there, on the floor

And I’ll tell you about the library, a place you will adore

They sat me down in this room
Said all I could do was look
Silly people, don’t they know
I’m all about the books

I found one filled with pictures
I’m still learning how to read
I picked one with a dinosaur
I really like this one, indeed!

It has very colorful, bright pages
And with the sunlight as my lamp
I can sit here, for hours and hours
It’s so much better than any camp

There are just so many books
I wonder, which one will be my next
Maybe I’ll try to read it out loud
Better choose one, complete with text

Friday Fantasy ~ Resurrection – #poetry

They flew at her, pages, from all directions

Retaliation, from years of corrections

All she wanted, was simply perfection

The ones she rejected, had found resurrection

An editor’s job, is never that easy

Some of the books, left her feeling quite queasy

She never fancied, the ones that were sleazy

Those, she tossed, on the pile, marked cheesy

Books are alive, they’re a writer’s soul

Each published volume, a wordsmith’s goal

But these bound beauties, were out of control

Days like these, would always take their toll

On an editor, who, out of the library, ran

Dodging the many books, like a crazed madman

Frightened to death, yes, the books had a plan

And that, my friends, was the end of dear Nan

Friday Fantasy ~ The Dragon Books – #poetry

I have found the dragon books
Where stories are told, of chivalry

Dare not try to take them
For I lived these tales, so vividly

Each page, now burned with words
Every breath I took, now written

Makes me feel quite wonderful
In fact, I’m really smitten

With myself, these days, I journey
To find the rest of my family

Bound together by human hands
In some place called a library

I hear they have many books there
I really cannot wait to see

I hope they let me through the door
So I can finish my dragon tree!
