Quiet, Intellectual Pursuits Are Still Deeply Satisfying Poem by DM W

I suppose Saturday night is alright
For those who like to dance and drink and find
Romance, or pursue more 'quick fix' delights.
But not for those who exist in their minds.
For quiet nights indoors; simply reading
Are like Keats ' notion of beauty: a joy
Forever; when bright dreams are overflowing.
Give me books. I don't need gadgets or toys!
They are for the man boys and bored children.
Give me Shakespeare, Dickens, Shelley and Keats
Or Walter de la Mare's mystic, golden
Words: without them life would be incomplete.
