I would get lost in books as a kid, and an adult. As a child I loved the ones with interesting pictures and I'd pretend I was in them. Though I know little about this type of poetry, I found it very interesting and reminded me of my childhood. =]

Nice nonet and well composed with flawless flow. I could visualize "clearing a place" and sitting down to be entertained by the book from your archives. Well done, and Lol!

Charming whimsy--very punny: knocked a book got a *star*dust shower-lucky you--my old-book dust showers are sans stars. Lovely paean to both books and to Nonet's Yvette.

So true my dear Sally, we book lovers can and often do get lost in
a book for a hours, or days on end, cradled in fantasies or adventures
galore, and poem here describes this kind of delight and literary
joys seeps one away with. Do it myself many times.
Love the pic, perfect indeed and the Nat King Cole song especially!
Am sure Yvette will adore this one!!!
Thanks for sharing dear!
Love, blessings always, Ronni

This is a lovely nonet and books can be magical. You make you poem sound magical by mentioning the stardust. I've read books that were so entertaining that I didn't put them down until finished even it meant all night. It did occur to me though that if I knocked a book from my top shelf what fell on me would be just plain old ordinary dust. LOL
This is beautifully presented with the picture and music.

Oh! I've been there! The best place to be = just a gal and a book and all the time in the world.
Well-formed with a wonderful message.
Beautiful imagery, and Nat King Cole is always a nice touch!

Exactally how I feel about book, magical pieces that wisk me away to anywhere I want to go. Nonet is perfectly done, form and count. It reads so smooth

Hi Sally,
A book can carry you away, a destination, a place you've never visited before... people to meet, sights and sounds. It's all good, especially in this Covid year when we're obliged to stay indoors. You might enjoy a trip to Hawaii this winter!
It looks like a few fairies in the picture, so your book must be a fantasy.
This would have been a great entry for the Nonet contest coming up. It's perfect.
"it showered me with stardust
as it fell to the wood floors."
Hugs,
Kimbob

What a fabulous nonet heralding books. It is well conceived in chosen words, as well as with accompanying artwork and video. A wonderful tribute to Y.M. Roger indeed.

Sally, this is a very charming Nonet poem. It reminds me of the magic of books, that can transport a person to new worlds in an instant.
Nice tribute to Yvette.
Excellent work.
Good luck in the contest.
