Well articulated and nicely brought forth with clarity of thought and mind. A beautiful piece of poetry. Thanks for sharing, Thad.
Black marks on white paper do not merely transmit meaning. There is magic in that portal through which a child can enter a multi-colored world through it.
A touching and lightly framed picture of the joy of reading for a child.
What a beautiful poem, takes me back to my youth and the discovery of wonders in books. beautifully written and very full of good positive imagery thanks for sharing Michael
Books are grand and books are keen...The very best, that I have seen. The books that I have read...Are the best that I, reread. Turning the pages can make me sad...Yet of others that make me glad. Books of some past, have been burned...And of others, have I learned. Books are the gateway to the mind of heart...Books are the works of some genius'es art. For had i thought to read much younger...My reading appetite would have yearned a much appealing hunger. Great write that inspired this verse...I only hope that mine is not worse. An easy ten given here Thad. God bless us all-MJG.
