Read Me I'm a book without a cover where pages are blank. A story untold, a plot that is faint. A fantasy without dragons, a drama without script. A mystery with no murder and all the pages are ripped. I'm sitting on a dusty shelf waiting to be read. People stopping by and reaching above my head. For novels about little people who do big things. Or biographies about musicians and the songs that the sing. Or a fiction story of a guy living with AIDS. A book on Civil Rights, a white family with black maids. With a cover so colorful and detailed, it tells it all. But no one stops to read ME, who's leaning against the wall. Is it becase I'm not fancy or catching at a glance. Or is it becasue you don't know what's inside and won't take the chance. I try to speak up yet I only cough and wheeze. So I sit quietly waiting my turn to be seized. But when someone picks me up, what will they find inside? I'm not helping any with no cover to feast their eyes. Now there's another, just walked by, I'm getting ready to wheeze. But this time I manage to squeal out, "read me please". |

This is my favorite poem so far tonight of the ones I've read. It's creative, meaningful, very symbolic, interesting, honest, and hopeful. Thank you. Be kind, be true, be bold, be you. |

I must say that I've seen a lot of poems here with this same title, but I never thought that this would actually be about a book I like it, it reallyt grabbed my attention |
