Books


 BOOKS

 

It lies there on the table just waiting to be read,

Beneath its hard back covers bound with linen thread,

The authors weaves their magic with special tales to tell

And you the reader cannot wait to fall beneath their spell

Some books they draw you right away into their special world

Whilst others tantalise and twist their secrets to unfurl,

It does not matter where you are in wood or busy train,

The world inside their pages is your mystical domain,

You settle down to read a book, your whole demeanour changes

The outside world it disappears, whilst you delve into its pages,

You are lost within its special world its characters are real,

Displaying all emotions that we human people feel,

The authors can transport us to far and distant lands,

Or have us wander aimlessly beside a coastal strand,

I could not live without my books they are to me a treasre

They fill my life with happiness and brighten up my leisure

national poetry day poem


National Poetry Day 2015

 

Today is National Poetry Day

So I’m saying it in rhyme

The only problem seems to be

That I do it all the time

When I went to the chip shop

For sausage chips and peas

She asked me ‘salt and vinegar?’

And I answered her ‘oh yes please’

And when my friend came visiting

And I made her favourite brew

I knew she liked it nice and sweet

So I said ‘three lumps or two?’

Last night when I was weary and I retired to my bed

I remembered to say ‘thank you Lord for my daily bread’

And when I woke this morning racked and stiff with pain

I muttered to my maker ‘Oh Lord, please not again’
