Bookshelves


Bookshelves

I
like
how light
plays on bindings
of so many stories told
I keep hold of passages in my collection
see how life’s unfolded through places I have ventured out to in books
I can't imagine life with out this window into appreciating stories, especially poetically versed, that resonate with every fiber of me

    There really is something magical, isn't there, about the passages in books that particularly resonate! Really a fine 'fibonacci' poem, Willow.

    I love your take on your own library and I can see the titles in low light. I think about what is going to happen to our bookshelves with all the electronic books but I have my personal copies of the books that mean the most to me, books my friends have written. I would never have dreamed that Skywriter books would send me into memories so vivid of that period of time. Miss that time.

    Lovely - and I like the layout. It looks like a half a book opened at the spine.

    Estes says that stories are medicine, aren't we lucky they taste so good?

    I can relate. I have always been a huge fan of stories but lately, I'm developing a taste for poetry as well. Beautifully penned. Keep it up.

    I like the way this Fibonacci poem grows like the books you have on your shelf. Nicely structured :)

    I could not agree more heartily, Willow. And your form is so well done. Good old Fibonacci... keeps us engaged, doesn't he?
