A Good Read

By Lynxear

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Don’t judge my cover. It’s worn, sure... faded....maybe, torn and dog-eared in places, but all pages are attached, the spine is firm. Lots of good reading for someone looking for discovery, a treasure, or something to curl up with on a cold evening. No!...don’t put me down, back on the shelf. Look at my contents, thumb the pages a little, read a bit, get my flavour...explore. I can intrigue, fascinate, outrage and provoke laughter or tears. It’s all there... if you take the time to look Heard a bad review, eh... vile, venomous and vindictive, in my humble opinion... Well, consider the source, judge for yourself. I was on her shelf for many years her property so-to-speak, not easy to talk about, but, that is the past I’m back in circulation now. Yes...many chapters in my life, lots of skills to draw on, jack-of-all-trades I am, pride myself in knowing a little of everything. The blank pages?.... Why, it’s space for more story, not ready for the “discard” box yet. Still life under this dust jacket, take your time...I’m a good read!
