Introducing you to my poetry

Hey everyone, I hope that you are all well. Whilst this blog has mainly been sharing my reviews and opinions of books, I also want to share with you another reason why I love literature, and that is writing (the very tool that keeps me sane most of the time). So today I present to you my poem 'Books of my Heart'.

These pages old and edges yellow,

The stories inside joyous or sometimes mellow.

Though they can still be sad or maddening,

I’m just glad for the adventures happening.

The binding cracked from years of use,

But the words inside they still induce

The same emotions after all this time,

Because the plot inside is nothing but divine.

It is but one of many that these hands have touched,

But one that I have loved so much.

For the ink that marks this browning paper,

Accompanied by that unique, special vapour,

With that simple effect, it brings great glee,

As it calls me home and sets me free.

A new exciting venture comes with each new book,

And presents worlds with completely different outlooks,

From fantasy to horror, or good old non-fiction,

This hobby of reading has become a great addition.

For it lets me escape from the reality I see,

And just for a while, these pages consume me.
