QUIET - Poets At Play ~*Marge Tindal*~    While sitting in the library I'll admit I was a bit chagrined to gaze upon that sign QUIET screaming silently from within I paused to smile in thinking with all those poets on the shelves at night This place must really ROCK when they turn out the lights ! Throwing back their covers leafing pages all about Words - words - words in gay abandon shout All the poets come to life reciting until dawn Ignoring QUIET in voices loud as they poetically 'get it on' Keats and Shelley Shakespeare and Poe Browning and Byron on and on they go Making merry of the night Words in dalliance of play Until the key turns in the lock Shhhhh ! Back between the covers for another QUIET day ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

What a delight! *S* I'd love to join their party... unless, of course, I have to write incredible poetry and die first. LOL. This is great, Marge! |

But to be a spider on the wall listening to the quiet of words fall from the lips of which they came then torn apart, to be reframed this is how a spider feels when the poets minds doth wheel.... oops! YOU made me sing.... shhhh....quiet..... |

Very clever, Marge! Hey, I work in the library now, in the executive office...it's not as quiet as the main library but I do love being in such close proximity to all those classics! I think I will print this out and take it to work. They'll all get a kick out of it! |

I loved this, Marge! Libraries are one of my favorite places and you have now given me another perspective. |
