Wonderful Books Poem by chandra thiagarajan

Wonderful Books

Rating: 5.0


Books, their beautiful looks
Very much they attract
The new smell of lovely books
Fascinates one, in fact.

Books are friends, ne’er failing
They never desert us
Through thick and thin hailing
They ever stand by us.

Books are our philosophers and guides
They make us deeply think
With them knowledge in us resides
And they make ignorance sink.

When we feel despondent and sad
Books make us forget our plight
They make our aching hearts glad
For darkness of mind they shed light.

With books our outlook broadens
As they are a store-house of wisdom
They increase our commonsense
And widen our brain’s kingdom..

Books are our companions in solitude
There are a treasure of thoughts noble
Books provide us with knowledge in plentitude
And drive away thoughts that are ignoble.

Books take us to places remote
And to heights we can ne’er scale
Communion with great minds they denote
And provide food for the mind to make it hale.

Books, our intellect they sharpen
They enrich our experience
The minds treasure-house they open
And are portable magic in a sense.


Biographies of great men teach us
To move and associate with them
Books bring enlightenment among us
And the curiosity to know things they stem.

There are books of different kinds
Story books, Poetry books, Science books
Computer books and books of philosophical minds
Books to be read on internet are e- books.

To man books are a marvelous gift
They, our true conscience awaken
There are bad books too—you have to sift
And be judicious in their selection.


Books impart truths sublime
And are an element of education
They are our true pals for life- time
And gives man complete satisfaction.
