Writing 201: Poetry, Day Six — Faces, Found Poetry, Chiasmus
(what the heck is Chiasmus?)
just a few books
Booksellers Lament
Books in order means order in books
to find them is the key
with thousands of books the ONE that is wanted
is the one nowhere to be found.Well, it MUST be somewhere unless it was sold!
If order is everything and if everything is in order
the book business thrives, sporadically
(at least theoretically)
but only if you’re listing, they keep insisting
books on the shelves can’t sell themselvesan order’s an order but books MUST be in order
to fill the order–when there’s an order to fill.
Delightfully beautifully…..certainly nothing lamentable about this one. I love it…but I would, wouldn’t I? 😉
so supportive you are…:-) thanks. I’m beginning to think in rhyme…my son says I’m weird, my husband said I was nuts. I’d not be any other way.
Some of us are often ‘misunderstood’….Creative people are. 😉
so true. they tell me they never know what I’m talking about, this is true,, I am a terrible talker, if I really want to be understood I have to write.
Clever piece!
thanks, I appreciate that. this one is a chide to my conscious…get to work it says. ha ha
It’s great! Chiasmus is tough, isn’t it? You made it.
thanks, I wasn’t sure. I guess I never had a poetry writing class before…too much fun!
I never had either and that’s why I’m here but to have fun as well.
I’m going to miss the class.
I’m already missing it!! I couldn’t follow the last 4 days due to illness, but did all last assignments today.
But that’s half the love of having bookshelves. At least for me. I Love playing library with my books! Nice job.
I have seen books arranged by color…is that fun or what? My inventory is strictly numerical in order, but my personal library is topical.
