If I Were A Book by PenAStory: 9:22am On May 28, 2016 |
https://penastory.com/2016/05/23/if-i-were-a-book-akorede-asunni/ If I were a book I would be that hard cover Sitting a little out of reach Somewhere to the left of the shelf Absent of a fancy illustration Of a stud holding a damsel To his rippling chest As if his heartbeat were a secret she needed to hear My name will be etched in plain gold Lettering across my spine There will be no writing At the back, no clues or hints To let you know to expect Unicorns or submarines Or unicorns in submarines Wearing purple hats and playing Chess and dissecting the meaning of life Or a love story so sweet and sticky You could pour it on your pancakes I would be fat and daunting Written in Calibri size 10 on recycled paper And the reader would have to squint And hold me up to the light To make out the wording on my pages And my story wouldn’t be sequential It would start with a small letter I And the only punctuation Would be the ones that were necessary And there will be no neat Tying up of plots at the end Where all the answers are dug up And aired and marveled at. The tale will simply Drop off the last page and continue In the reader’s imagination Get updates on our post by joining our BBM Channel via C00396EEB, if you are reading from mobile click: http://pin.bbm.com/C00396EEB Source: PenAStory - www.penastory.com 1 Like
