Poems on reading
[Photo provided by my friend Jon, who is really good at this AI image thing]
There were lots of great poems by some great Razor regulars!
We had know fewer than four from Jill Scoggins, who began with emotion:
I hate a book's end.
I grieve for the loss of those
I won't meet again.
Pivoted to current reading:
Reading Barbara
Jordan's bio. A woman
who made good trouble.
And ended with the truth:
Libraries, book stores
hold gold that takes you where you’ve
never been before.
IPLawGuy is the biggest reader I know, and it is great to hear him describe what he is reading at any given time. He started with a favorite author:
Edmund Morris wrote
Strange bios: "Dutch" (Reagan)
also "Edison."
Continued with a mystery:
"Skippy Dies," sad tale
Does anyone prevail or grow?
Story sticks with me.
And whipped back to an author:
historical tales of yore
"Pagan Lords," Vikings
Finished reading "The Barn"
Where Emmitt Till died
Next up listening
To "The Warmth of Other Suns"
Southern migration
On my Kindle I
stick with a variety
of lighter reading.
Avid Razor readers try
Their hands at Haiku.
While Desiree batted clean-up with the feeling we readers all share:
Finished my book with
a smile, because now a new
adventure begins.
