JWG's Tomorrow Today — The Books I Own (a poem)

Wherein JWG gets lost in his personal library.

The Books I Own

Reading will stretch a stymied brain.
Opening a book is not hard.
Understanding is difficult
If one is closed to ideas
Which are presented with panache.

For me, the Library
Was a sanctuary
In which I became lost
In stacks of written Worlds
That I perused with glee.

The Books I own
Are for research
To satisfy
My curious
Zest for knowledge.

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

With the budget "we" just passed? That can't be!

"Why are Smithtown teachers continuing to pay for school supplies out of their ownRead More pocket?" Since when? Ever see the big list of supplies kids get in their folders at the end of the year for them to bring in next year? I think you're talking about the wrong school district.
