Personal Poetry Challenge Day Fifty-Six

A weekend at the trailer always means at least a little reading.  I’ve been reading pretty much constantly since I was a kid.  A good book never gets old.

Enjoy!

My Great Escape

Each book is like a brand new land,
There for me to explore.
And like a trip that’s at it’s end,
It leaves me wanting more.

I lose myself within the words,
Visit some long lost age.
I picture all in my minds eye,
I hang on every page.

The author weaves their spell of words,
I’m caught within their plot.
I am the hero of this tale,
This world I have bought.

From Twain to Kipling, Stoker, Poe,
Up to the present day.
With Pratchett, Parker, King and more,
Far more than I can say.

So thank you all for endless days,
And nights of zero sleep.
For memories you’ve given me,
Your gifts I’ll always keep,

Cheers, Winston
