Book Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Book

Rating: 5.0


I read a book, antiquated,
it has been a bit updated,
so it hasn't lost its humorous undertone,
that only applies to me,

By undertone, I mean that extra dimension
that's hidden in that story-presentation
somewhere between poetic, hilarious, and philosophy,
so books should have a story, a good plot, philosophy,
and spiritual value,

so that we may live in peace and ease
on this precious earth,
my dear friend, it's that worth!

I concur with the wonderful thoughts of the great Poetess that a book should have a good story, a good plot, philosophy and spiritual value. Reading a book is always fun and we can gain knowledge that we may apply in life.
