Ode to Books

Oh, books
You are so colorful
With different shapes,
Sizes
You are like people
So many words

Oh, books
You crinkle
Every time
I turn your
Wrinkled pages

Oh, books
Your musty smell
Worn pages
Yellowed pages
From sitting on a shelf
For ages

Oh, books
You bring me joy
Without you
There would be nobody
To enjoy

Oh, books
My memories with you
Soar past
What I
Can remember
