The Poem of a Bibliophile

As I wedge myself 

Like that of a book

Onto a shelf that fits

Way too tightly 


The covers of a book 

Seem to give me warmth 

The spines of them 

Act as the binding to my very being


The books are instanly freeing 

And can be magically spellbinding

Even though in them they may bring mayhem

For I can never truly tell what books may bring forth 


And I wil never understand why people rightly 

Deny themselves bliss

By never picking up a book to read by oneself


The author's comments:

I originally wrote this last year for a Young Authors' Collection held at my school, but I loved it so much that I resued it for my English II Honors Poetry Project.
