surpassing authors.

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting).

You perfectly captured a feeling and scent that I love so much, and why bookstores and libraries make me happy.
Outstanding!!! Loved it!!!

I can smell it. Very well done.
Ooh, thereβs nothing like the smell of books! Wonderful poem, J R π
No one writes about this...and yet we do notice... Thanks for the olfactory interest! π
Suckered in by the title and subtitle...and the poem did not disappoint! Exquisite stuff, well done!
You really captured how unique the scents of a library are & how true about the words! Very lyrical, too.
Just beautiful!
Love the imagery, great job! π
