A bound book
Of printed pages
Takes the mind
Thro' unknown stages.
Poetry or prose
Philosophy or math
A deep exploration
Of enchanting delight.
Book of art
Or a cook book
Craft or needle work
It's all excitement.
Book has today
Completely changed
From hard bound
To an e-book.
A dictionary
Or thesaurus
Or an encylopedia
Is all digitized.
Computer's magic
And the web network
Keep holding the key
At the finger's tip.
I take the art of picking up a book to read any day. When computer crashes or is no longer operable then we can reach for the dictionary, thesaurus or select an old book of poems or works of art from off the shelves. Hope they don't disappear like the dinosaur (smile, just teasing! . A very good thought.
Ebooks are great, but true books are beautiful and it would be a great shame if they disappeared. A good write, enjoyed reading.
