Flying through curves tighter
Than Professor Snape's smile
And blasting through gaps
That shouldn't even allow a Nimbus 2000
To slide through with all it's tines intact
Wind tears streaking down my chill reddened cheeks
Blindingly annoying until blinked away
Tussled hair flipping back and forth
In an uncharacteristic frenzy of to and fro
White knuckled as only a set of hands
Too caught up in the moment
To even think about letting go can be

It's hard to set down the book
To plunder the over filled closet
In search of an old wizard hat and broomstick
And leave the well-used couch behind
To explore new ideas

Interesting poem, but I'm not sure if I understood. Joyce

Well, I guess maybe if you sold the couch, then you might be able to work one less week this summer. Or something. Wait, do you even own a couch? Didn't think so. Hehe.

An excellent way of telling us to read more, and enjoy the expansion of our minds.
