A Flower and a book
Saw the picture and had a second look
A flower and a book
What can you say about those two things
A flurry of thoughts it brings
When I think of a flower it is beauty I see
A book brings words of who I may want to be
The smell of petals bring joy
Page after page brings wisdom for me to employ
How are they the same you may ask
This is where I put myself to the task
Both are there to amuse our minds
Even if it is of varying kinds
Is it a stretch to say
Each brings wisdom your way
Texture is found by your fingers
Impressions made live long and lingers
There are feelings evoked galore
By reading into what is in store
Memories tweaked and new ones made
Though some may one day fade
No matter what the occasion or circumstance
They can deliver even in the case of romance
Under the covers they do bring
The possibility of inspiration for songs to sing
Stories yet to be told lay in wait
Whatever you imagine will be great
