Mag 66

The ESSENCE of Books

Eight erect epics
Shelved scholary spines
Surreal somber summaries
Every essay expanding
Nostalgic narrative
Critiqued, caressed columns
Everlasting epitaph

    A lovely tribute to the art of words,
    for they exist for us to play with.

    Love this alliteration. I'm not familiar with the form. Creative and perfect descriptions of books.
