Book Poems
Fun Days With Dick and Jane
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
With a resourceful and older brother,
My early childhood was so much fun,
Such as being drawn in his red wagon,
And sledding in the late winter sun!
When I was just learning how to read,
I had to choose the only book I could,
And sitting in the sunset, I prettied,
As everything awash in radiance should!

This Is The Sort Of Book We Like
by Gilbert Keith Chesterton
This is the sort of book we like
(For you and I are very small),
With pictures stuck in anyhow,
And hardly any words at all.
. . .
You will not understand a word
Of all the words, including mine;
Never you trouble; you can see,
And all directness is divine—
Stand up and keep your childishness:

Meditations on Covid 19

Meditations on Covid 19
1.
Crawling on the floor to wipe it
with kerosene and a stripe of cloth
The front door rattled,
a cold wave down the spinal tube
While crawling memories of childhood horses
thronged desperately, how far displaced from roots

we're all just a book in a library
by Gwen Maryland
Everyone's life is a book
Where people read and take a look
Don't just look at the cover
Please look what's under
Not everything is what it seems
Even a book filled with memories
Every book is precious and kept with care
In the library with a chair

Myself
by Gayatri Puri
I lived by myself
So, I healed up myself
Started understanding myself
Rather than doubting myself
I stood up for myself,

Until I got dependent on myself.
Yes, it sounds selfish,
But trust me
Sometimes, it's okay

i’ve never told a story
by Annie H
i’ve never told a story
someone else had never heard
i’ve never wrote a book
because i couldn’t find the words
i’ve scratched out all the words
on the pages that i wrote
i’ve drowned letters in the water
and i’ve thrown them off of the boat

What is Silence?
by Julia Shaw
Silence is snow falling outside your door
Turning the world into seamless white
Covering up all things ugly and impure
Quietly caressing the earth through the night
Silence is a mime telling stories without words
Using only features on his face recorded
He's understood perfectly though his voice isn't heard
By all that see him he's greatly adored
