This is perfect and funny too. I imagine that by the time one book fall atop another, the growler has such a headache he doesn't have time to deal with and upset stomach and a perforated colon from a pirate sword. Ha Ha. I enjoyed the read.

Thanks so much - I'm so glad you got into the spirit of the personification of the book drop :-) Brooke
Comment from Acquired Taste
Brooke, this is quite cute. Love the idea a child might think of the book drop absorbing all that is written on the pages of his books.
With my warped mind, I tend to go the other direction and see a leftover demon from Stephen King take up residence in the book depository and...never mind. This is your lovely sweet poem - not my nightmare.
Very much like this. Jean

Thanks so much, Jean, and to think I thought this was scary with thoughts of elephants and pirates confronting each other.
You must really have a dark imagination! LOL Brooke :-)
Comment from jmdg1954
Brooke, I enjoyed how you turned the book drop into an adventure story... cobwebs, elephants, mountains, peg-leg pirates, skyscrapers and how the book drop gets tummy pains.
Perfect poetry for a youngster.
Nicely done, John

You are killing me with laughter. Not a bad way to go.
I can always count on you to make me smile. I even like the images you post with your words. Do you copy write? Are you planning or have you already done a children's book? Or a children's book for the child in all adults? Just a thought.

Comment from mommydear42
Brooke, This just popped up on my computer with no advance
notice. (My computer was "at rest"and I just hit a key.) I had no idea of the author until I read a few lines and thought,"that sounds like Brooke"" Sure enough when I got to the end, it was written by adewpearl. When I was young I spent a fair amount of time at the libary, plus I had my own lending library. My mother brought home books all the time...books and comics, which I read very carefully before she took them back to the store. It nearly killed me when I was taking college classes and was told to put my short notes in the book margins.

AHHH, how sweet. I am wondering if Miranda reads your beautiful poetry to Sawyer. I can see him smile and giggle when she reads it. He's a very luck child.

Brooke, I do hope you are creating a book of sort for the day when Sawyer and others are at the age of appreciation. You are a poet of the hour in my book. Blessings to you.

Comment from c_lucas
It is a good thing to start children off young in reading tales.Soon, the library as we have known it will no longer be in existence. Good job.

Charlie, I sure hope that never happens. Thanks so much for your review :-) Brooke

You're welcome, Brooke. When was the last time you used the manual catalog to look up a book?
You're welcome, Brooke. Charlie
-
my library did away with that card catalogue long ago - I just don't want them doing away with hold-in-your-hand books, especially for children :-)
-
Look at your selection of E-Books, CD's and video. I haven't used a card catalog in over twenty years.
