"She stood in the storm, and when the wind did not blow her way, she adjusted her sails." -Elizabeth Edwards.


You’re a shut up novel
And your cover caught my eye.
I want to open you up
And see you from inside.

I’d like to know your secrets,
Your strengths and your fears.
Find out all your flaws
And the things that you find dear.


I want to memorize every page,
Every syllable, every line.
Read and read and read
Until I’ve worn down your spine

I find you very intriguing,
Although I can’t say why,
But soon I’d have the answers
If you’d just give me the time.

It may seem alarming
But know my words are true,
When I say I’ve never seen
A book that’s quite like you.

And I know you won’t believe me,
But know my words aren’t lies,
When I say you’re worth
Every page, every syllable
And every line.

I wrote this for a poetry project at school. My teacher liked it, but I would really like to know what others think. :)

I&#039;ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. <br /> - Maya Angelou <br /> When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn&rsquo;t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out<br /> The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay<br /> If love produced a blossom/I&rsquo;d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I&rsquo;d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven<br /> And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel

That is SO good. I really LOVE when someone puts together a good piece about books/ a book. And this is a really good one :)

Life isn&#039;t measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments which take your breath away.<br /> <br /> You are only as strong as your weakest link.

Great! I like how it ended up being more than just a book.
