Books Are wonderful They’re as calming as a string quartet And it feels good To know that no one Knows what’s happening Except you They’re so informative With so many genres And so delicate You think they might break When you turn the page They’re so engrossing You can barely hear They’re joyful Even when they’re sad They’re funny Even when they’re scary.

Ode To Broadway

An ode to Glorious shows in glamorous theaters Wonderful talent in wonder-filled dramas The bright stars who exit the theater To find their fans waiting for them, cheering for them, applauding for them, once again The stars exit, but the magic does not The grandeur still exists It exists in the happy, joyful, awestruck faces in the crowd Whose lives have been changed by the talent they saw that night This poem is an ode to all that And may it live on forever Continue reading Ode To Broadway
