The Book

 

It is an amazing story, interlacing and interweaving

every chronicle of every history into a volume of life.

Worked to the smallest detail

plots and twists and mini themes

with everyone its hero.

 

What great mind could author this?

A saga of eons;

a tome with billions of characters

interacting,

each at the centre of its own universe

printing the pages at the forefront of creation,

living the words,

learning the thoughts.

 

Deconstructing in an attempt to comprehend

a genre of mixed emotion.

Science, murder, love, mystery,

poetry in sight and sound.

Starvation and plenty.

All fiction.

About This Poem

About the Author

Region, Country: Western Australia, AUS

Favorite Poets: Favourite poets? So many, so varied. I like particular songs, not necessarily the singer... and the same goes for poetry. I can honestly say though, that Alfred Noyes' The Highwayman was what inspired my love of poetry - my mother began reading it to me when I was still a baby, and it became my favourite bedtime story

Hi Judyanne, great poem and

Hi Judyanne, great poem and thought provoking write, I like the book analogy, I'm reminded of 'All the world's a stage...' and I love those two words at the end, 'all fiction'. Life is but a dream eh? with much love Beki xxx

Super write Judy

I wish I had the patience to read. Without the writers of the world we’d have limited history, imagination and knowledge. And you Judy bring all of this to us. You’re not afraid to try to better your mind and you do this for us through your wonderful poetry. Which you're living proof if you work hard at what you want, you can achieve this. Brilliant.
