We do immerse ourselves in our books don't we, almost like a new love, takes up all our emotions. Great description in this 5-7-7 poem Maria

Hi Maria Jose. I can so identify with this wee poem. Very well written by the way. Books are second nature to me. I don;t only read them, but I collect them as well. All the best. Ulla:)))

Good morning, Maria: I do agree with you on this one. I do love the actual books on my bookshelf to pull out to read whenever I have the time. There are the kindles and the online reading but I still love to have a book to curl up with at home or at work. The feel of the page, the cover, there is nothing like it.

Hi, Maria

= Nice 5.7.7 submission for challenge.
= It is so true. As writers, we are 'in the books' as some peeps are 'in the clouds.'
= Good write. Challenge met.

Cheers, J (*<*)

Nicely composed and expressed in this short poem, Maria. Our books do take us away and into other worlds. Sometimes we hate to see the book come to an end. Marilyn

I love it! Books are wonderful. I'm reading "A Man Called Ove " currently. I love the escape of a good book. I like the inclusion of pain in this piece. Ive shed plenty of tears when reading. Thanks for sharing your poem.

Is yours good? I've heard about it, it's quite a bestseller.
Thanks for reading.

This is a very well written Katawtu (5-7-7) poem you have penned for the Structured Writing Club. You used very good wording and very good imagery of the book. Best wishes in the contest. I thought about joining that, but think I can keep up with everything! Best wishes! Teri
