'' The Magic Of Books '' Poem by Thad Wilk
'' The Magic Of Books ''
With her little hands, she scans each page
and as she looks.
She finds that she is mesmerized by the
magic from these books.
~
By candlelight she reads each night and as
the candle burns.
She finds delight from the the magic of books
with each page she turns.
~
For a moment, she's a princess dancing, in
a castle she'd be prancing.
Other times a ballerina, loved by all that came
And seen her.
~
Yes, she loves these books to me she said.
She keeps them neatly stored next to her bed.
Each night she goes to sleep it seems she
always dreams the same sweet dreams.
~
All the while she has a smile and as these thoughts
dance through her head. ''She believes'' that
there is really magic. In every page she's read...

Books are grand and books are keen...The very best, that I have seen. The books that I have read...Are the best that I, reread. Turning the pages can make me sad...Yet of others that make me glad. Books of some past, have been burned...And of others, have I learned. Books are the gateway to the mind of heart...Books are the works of some genius'es art. For had i thought to read much younger...My reading appetite would have yearned a much appealing hunger. Great write that inspired this verse...I only hope that mine is not worse. An easy ten given here Thad. God bless us all-MJG.

Such a sweet poem, Thad, I just love it. That was me as a little girl, Oh so many years ago.
Well articulated and nicely brought forth with clarity of thought and mind. A beautiful piece of poetry. Thanks for sharing, Thad.
Black marks on white paper do not merely transmit meaning. There is magic in that portal through which a child can enter a multi-colored world through it.
