My hand grasps the cold metal and pulls on the golden door handle

Opening up a world of endless possibilities

It’s a magical place

Not like Disney nor space 

Where you can create limitless memories

One book at a time

 

Books big and small

Tiny and tall

Fill the walls

With colors that beckon you with a silent mesmerizing call 

 

Each individual section

Examples being Fantasy, Fable, Fairy Tale, and Fiction

Draw to your eyes longing for your attention

 

If you’re looking to make a tasty treat

The cookbook section is where you should meet

Brownies, Cupcakes, Cookies galore

All the recipes you would want and more

 

Bibliosmia

The smell is enchanting

As it floats off the pages your mind begins dancing

It draws you in and you want to buy more

And hoping its not yet time to walk out the door

 

It's quiet like a Library

Yet it’s still a store

While the serene silence is calming

The books you must pay for

 

While some prefer to read on their Nook

Nothing compares to the feel of a real paperback book

Turning each page as the story unfolds

You’re immersed in its world and it take its hold

 

Books can transcend you to many a time and place

Just one of the multiple reasons why the bookstore is my happy place


The author's comments:

I love reading and going to bookstores. I wrote this imagery poem to try and encourage others to read and for people to see how happy it makes me. I hope that when people read this they become interested and decide to go to bookstores in their town.

I LOVE bookstores SO much!!!! I would spend all day at them if not for my little brother... I wonser if other bookstore goers think it odd when I wander around with an overjoyed look on my face, running my hand along all the book spines. If they're proper bibliophiles though, they should understand. Love this poem!
