As Wild Woman
shelves
the one thousandth book
and surveys
the result
with satisfaction,
a little
questions forms:
How many books
does Wild Woman
really need?
"Just the one
she's reading
now."
However,
between
the covers
of every
single
one,
lies a
new adventure,
just waiting
to be
embarked upon,
or an old friend,
waiting to be
revisited.
or an old friend,
waiting to be
revisited.
Wild Woman
is
addicted
to
opening
the covers
and
being taken
on
a pilgrimage.
She
will
not
stop
until
her
journey's
end.
Kids, I am being very patient, but the people in my world are Much Too Busy to fix what is wrong with my email program. I have not been able to receive or send emails since Tuesday morning. I apologize to those of you who have been trying to reach me, and also to those of you I need to reach for interviews etc.
Wild Woman says, "Argh!" Bear with me.
Yeah, mine kicked back.
ReplyDeleteOh, I so sympathize, Sherry! I've been out of commission all week, too, but my computer is deigning to work today so I'll squeeze in some visiting while I can!
ReplyDeleteI love this poem...there's definitely no such thing as too many books....:)
