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.
