Books are Cold and Certain Friends
‘Les livres sont des amis froids et sûrs’ Victor Hugo
My friends are books:
Pages of paper
Sewn together,
Clothed in distinctive
Divergent covers.
Colourful volumes,
Weighty tomes,
Slim softbacks
Of poetry and stories
Crowd my shelves,
Clamour for attention,
Welcome me into their worlds.
But when I have read
The last page
And closed a book,
It is so hard to push
The cold pages
Back on a cramped shelf.

I love the fact, how you can write about anything and everything…
It’s amazing to see that you find the right words to express each time.
I long for ceiling high bookshelves full of every kind of book. Ive dreamt of that..

Thank you. I am very lucky to have so many books and shelves to put them on. Books are my biggest pleasure apart from my husband, my cats and, of course, writing.
