Crisp, clean, colorful covers
Beautiful, magnificent words
Floating on a page
Forever inscribed.

Tragedies, romance, heartbreak, and fear
Combined.
To tell a tale
Never told before.

A mere thought
Running through a mind
So jumbled and confused.
Writing it out into detail.

No one cares to spend time
Reading
Understanding
Enjoying a book.

Please! Keep reading!
Cries the book.
Don't put me on a shelf
...
Forever waiting to be read again.

The author's comments:
I love to read. I know that a lot of people have been using e-books compared to the simple paperback and hardback books that we all originally grew up with. I hope people will go back to reading regular books on paper and not on the web.
