Poetry: Books

by Tierney O'Hara

Created on: April 17, 2008

Leaning on their sides
Standing straight up

Stiff spines
Piled so high

I fear an avalanche
At any time.

Some are leather
Some gold, covers

Colorful as confetti
Each one unique.

Some just
Musty and old.

Others dog-eared
And thumbed

Pages ripped or torn
A few colored on.

Some fat and heavy
Some slim as

I used to be
When I first

Fell in love with
Words.
