Loving books.....It's a Picture Book Day!

Being Lost
by Karla Kuskin

Being Lost

Is the perfect way


To pass the time


On a sky blue day



When it is warm

And the open window
Uncurtains a call
Spiraling up the stairway
Hovering in the hall.
No one comes then
When they call me.
I am not there
Where they look.
I linger alone
In a place of my own
Lost
In a book.

This is the first poem to be found in a new find:


GOOD BOOKS, GOOD TIMES!
selected by Lee Bennett Hopkins

If you loooove books, you will adore these poems about books and reading!

Another great poem, describing my life with books....well, only till the beard part!



BOOKS TO THE CEILING
by Arnold Lobel
Books to the ceiling, books to the sky.
My piles of books are a mile high.
How I love them!
How I need them!
I'll have a long beard by the time I read them.

Happy reading, my friends!

Lenten Blessings!
