Reading Is...

Reading is where words fly off the page and circle your head like enchanters binding you to their will.
Reading tells you stories that capture you, spin you around, an d have you begging for more.
Reading is seeing new places and worlds where anything is possible.
Reading is words on a paper that rise up before your eyes and slip in your head chanting their visible melody.

The author's comments:
This poem was an assignment in my Language Arts class. When people read this I hope they take away from it that reading doesn't have to be a chore. It can be a wonderful experience. You might fly across the ocean or battle a knight with a lance. You can do anything, if you just give it a chance.
