Two Lovely Poems About Books

While browsing my family's bookshelves I found two very different books of poems lined up by each other. Curiously I pulled them out and flitted through their pages. While reading I discovered a poem from each that I decidedly liked. I will share them with you now:

The 1st is from a book presented by Barbara Ross called A Treasury of Goops.

Books

I have a notion

the books on the shelves

Are just as much persons

As we are, ourselves.

When you are older, you'll find this is true,

You'd better be careful

To make books like you!

The 2nd is from The Bookworm's Feast, A Potluck of Poems by J. Patrik Lewis.

Read...Think...Dream

Book me a passage

to history

Back to some once-

on-a-time,

Sail me into a

tall told tale,

Read me a river-

boat rhyme.

Ride me the waves

of a story,

Settle me down

by a brook,

Dream me a land 

only dreamed of,

Book me a voyage

by book.

The rest of the poems in these books are amazing. I encourage you to find them and read the rest!
