Tea taming the light Misty magic Crawls up the spine Birds through the looking glass She opened the book Absorbing every page Each chapter a gateway Musing on those she knew; Represented by numbers Individual, yet all the same Your days are a never ending struggle Rare in and of themselves Bringing trouble; Dog eared rationale We seekers of solace Take refuge in books Understanding Demanding The next installment; Flooding our lives with fantasies Cocooned In our chrysalis Reading brings change And knowledge From page to page We analyse Plot, scene, age Apply the theatre to our lives And sit, thinking for a while Read between the lines Crime, thriller, romance Happenstance That could be our lives Yet sky so grey Overcast Reprimanding We sit, dreaming... Some day.

In Chrysalis
Tea taming the light Misty magic Crawls up the spine Birds through the looking glass She opened the book Absorbing every page Each chapter a gateway Musing on those she knew; Represented by numbers Individual, yet all the same Your days are a never ending struggle Rare in and of themselves Bringing trouble; Dog eared rationale We seekers of solace Take refuge in books Understanding Demanding The next installment; Flooding our lives with fantasies Cocooned In our chrysalis Reading brings change And knowledge From page to page We analyse Plot, scene, age Apply the theatre to our lives And sit, thinking for a while Read between the lines Crime, thriller, romance Happenstance That could be our lives Yet sky so grey Overcast Reprimanding We sit, dreaming... Some day.
I wrote this poem in the Halton Poetry Group in May 2015. We were given the task of writing poems based on a selection of phrases. This is what I came up with in about 20 minutes.
