Books (Rhyme Royal) Poem by Cynthia Buhain-baello

There's something about books that mesmerize,
A gripping story or some poetry there.
Hours slip by, before one could realize
A book held one captive, the day's over!

Books seem to take us to those places where
There's another world we get to travel
And where we meet people in a novel.
