Come with me
On a magical journey
Within the pages
Of a book
We will go to
Many wondrous places
And meet some fascinating people
We will visit new worlds
With magical creatures
On a quest to save their Queen
Or we will meet a Prince
Hidden away from an evil sorceror
Maybe even we’ll meet a President
While he’s still a young boy or girl
You never know where you’ll go
When you open the pages of a book
About the Creator

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Miss Persephone's Manual to a Seemingly Ordinary Life
Miss Persephone was found at the dining table, her blue eyes swollen, her tears arriving and retreating like the tides of the ocean. Earlier that day, her family had visited her in the retirement home where she had lived for eight years. It was her eightieth birthday.

Reading is my second most favoured method to escape reality. First is sleeping hehehehehehe. Also, in this line, "And met some fascinating people", did you mean meet? Loved your poem!
That's so true. Well said.
This reminds me of when I was a kid and my mum would read to me every night. Thought this was beautiful.
Unless you've read the back cover & there's a synopsis there or are like Harry in "When Harry Met Sally" & read the last page first so you know how it ends in case you die. Even then, authors will surprise you, won't they, Mother?
Brings me back to my childhood, how stories brought to life with imagination. This was so nice
You also never know where you will go when you open Vocal! Lovely and reminds me of a line from "A Dance with Dragons" by George R. R. Maritin. "A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one." A thousand lives is better! Nicely done!
