Poetry
Please choose me!
Stacked on shelves
In rows and rows
Poems and pictures
And pages of prose
Descriptions, Novels
Facts and Essays
Paleontology, Philosophy
History, Praise
Books and pamphlets
Periodicals too
Paperbacks, hardbacks
Volumes and reams
Folios, collections
Sheets and tomes
Stand to attention
hopefully
Waiting for readers
At the library
Whispering
"Please choose me!"
