I Went And Got My Friends Poem by Margaret Alice

I felt so alone, no-one home, you have to attend
to work issues, then I went and got my friends –
now they are ranged around me and I feel safe
and free, my favourite books from the library

The Witches Trilogy by Terry Pratchett, my favourite
favourite The Encyclopaedia of Stars and Atoms by Stuart
Clark, a newcomer by Lynne Markham – Getting It Right,
Parker’s Astrology by Julia and Derek Parker

And for a gourmet treat, Rocks And Minerals by Chris
Pellant – now I’m ready to face the night all by myself,
I’ll enjoy some titbits and maybe start reading the
newby, the pain of today’s failures forgotten

I’m besotted with books, Bibliotherapy always
soothes my pains and aches away...
