In the Library
I lost myself in the library
And now all I can see
Are stacks and stacks of books
Each staring right at me
My heart just might explode
My neck could possibly break
If I cannot enjoy the thrill
Of all these books today
So I strolled on to the sci-fi
I gave myself a taste
Then ran on to dystopian
And swept the shelves with haste
I’m not sure what the time is
But please just let me be
For I have found my favorite isle
The Isle of Fantasy
These days I spent as lost
Filled me in supply
Of wonderful adventures
Just waiting for my eye
But sadly someone found me
She told me it was late
And, as a good librarian,
She lets me in each day

I wrote this poem after visiting my first library in two years. My family and I have moved to a foreign country and were unable to visit any libraries. When I was finally able to visit a library, I was so excited, I couldn't resist sitting down and writing a poem right on the spot.
