Book, meet writer

By Lisa HPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

Dawdle through the shelves adorned

I’m looking for a certain book

Sadly, I remain unwarned

Time has passed without a look

Rarely, do I tend to rest

Around this time, I’m never free

Certain, as the sun does set

The pages grab ahold of me

Instead, I watch the world unfold

Offer them my eyes to see

Noise, to flee reality

About the Creator

I'm learning to be wildly inappropriate, ridiculous, needy - and alive.

Thank you so much for all the support!

    Dear Ms. Lisa - ~ I always love to slowly "Dawdle" though your jump around chosen topics. Such a Youngin Wordsmith ~ Oftentimes I, too, escape current "Reality" by simply burying my head in the sand! - With Pleasure - Jay Kantor, Chatsworth, California 'Senior' Vocal Author - Vocal Author Community -
