  Visit a home and see tons of books
There lives an avid reader
A fervent reader resides
Passionate and eager to learn
Pages full of information, wisdom
Books on shelves, tables,
by the lounge chair
Books belonging to the poor,
middle-class, rich folks
If you walk into a house with
no signs of a book
Run fast, hop on your van
Chances are, you might find an
expensive pair of sneakers, earrings
and things that are
Secondary items and okay to have
But not at the expense of trading
them for familiarity
Awareness, acquaintance, knowledge, proficiency

When I visit people in their homes, I love to look at all the things they have escpecially their books. I hope your poem encourages others to do the same. It is very rewarding and enriching.

Great call to the 'Books', its actually amazing to learn what our friends read and share or learn from and with them. When I was a little girl my mother made me give my books away, I used to hide my favorite ones under my bed...They are all gone now...She changed my bed too :) ~
