The World of Books
A poem by Lesley Chao
My mind wanders,
I drift into a book which I ponder,
A world of wonders and uncertain fates,
A world on another planet, time, or another state,
I enter The World of Books.
I have read about romance,
Characters just begging for another dance!
Princes and Princess at magnificent balls,
Evil queens and poison apples hidden in shadowy halls,
I enter The World of Books.
Spies hiding in dark spaces,
Maps that say, "Walk 20 paces",
Evil and gloom waiting to be defeated,
Great lords in tall thrones seated,
I enter The World of Books.
Unicorns and fairy godmothers,
Giants, dragons and all kinds of others,
Magical old crones,
Living in houses of candy and ice cream cones.
I enter The World of Books.
Sneaking sleuths in brown trench coats,
Stolen sneakers and even dead goats!
Suspects and red herrings,
Stolen diamonds earnings,
I enter The World of Books.
Aliens and spaceships,
Fleeing from their home and hardships,
Invading Mars,
And even a leader, Cadet Lars!
I enter The World of Books.
Runaway dogs,
Children pretending to be hogs,
And at school, learning about friction,
It's all realistic fiction!
I enter The World of Books.
Books can be magical,
They are practical,
Irresistible and make me crazy!
Go on, discover, and don’t be lazy!
Enter: The world of books.
Each stanza is about a certain genre of books.
I hope you were able to catch it :)
Thanks for reading!!
