Some Words About The Love Of Reading

By Mike Singleton πŸ’œ Mikeydred Published 3 years ago β€’ 1 min read

Introduction

This is a poem for Cherri and Autumn who are both voracious readers and book lovers. I always love the John Waters quote but I have greyed out the naughty word in case Autumn reads this (though I am sure she is old enough to know what it means)

This is also for all readers that I know including my daughters and many of my Vocal friends, but Autumn and Cherri were the main inspiration.

Walk Along Incredible Paths

And Then Some Norse Mythology

Mythic Creatures That Make Us Gasp

To Sail On Seas Where Pirates Are

There We See Dragons and Mermaids

We Turn The Pages, Travel Far

So Turn The Pages, You Will See

Your Mind Will Fly, You Will Be Free
