big pages


opened wide with spilled black letters.

the only place where a lion might befriend a caterpillar or a child can learn to fly.


sharp edges covered with glossy coating

stained with sticky fingerprints.

new words match the foreign sights.


up above i see You


and feel warmth on my right arm.

a hummed deep voice mirrors your moving lips.

after many leaves fall, snowflakes drop, rainstorms pour, and suns shine


You are still my favorite story to tell.

This is a more modern, free verse poem about the childhood memory of reading story books.
