A Novels Perplex by ~khamwon1:iconkhamwon1:



The answers to that which isn’t explained,
is held tightly within my callous hands.
This magic that can take me to new lands,
is a book that is so rich and ready to entertain.
The pages crinkle for they had been stained-
by coffee or tea, maybe even muddy hands,
yet that is a mystery that will stay unexplained.
Besides, to read is what this book demands.

The words bleed with some secret rhyme,
and the warped pages act like a jigsaw puzzle-
that only adds to the books rich and fantastic power.
To delay opening the cover is a malice crime,
for it cries that the two of you cuddle and nuzzle-
For it is a puzzle waiting for you to come and devour.

100 Themes 98: Puzzle

I love old books with warped and stained pages, thus I got my inspiration!
I really drew on the mystery side of the term puzzle, and the wonderful mystery of a good book.

I love it. It so explained the mystery that is reading a good book, especially one that captivates you until the end with a puzzle over the plot.
Really good take on the theme :star:

I really like that. Very beautiful. Needs a bit of work on the rhythm, but a writer's work is never finished, right? Here's something I spotted: "Besides, to read is what this book demands." It should be: "Besides, to be read is what this book demands." Hope that helps1 I love old books too so I really loved this poem!
