A Book IsA book is

an open flowerscented pages, fragrant hours

a crafty foxsurprising in its clever plots

a fairy's wingswith princesses, enchanted kings

a windowsillwhere breezy thoughts are never still

an hour glasswhose pages flow as hours pass

a lock and keythat opens doors and sets minds free

an ancient clockthat speaks the times but never talks

an open letterwhen read again the friendship's better

an apple corewith seeds inside for growing more

a trusted friendthat keeps its secret to the end
