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.

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!
