A book fair
A book fair
A noisy, busy, yet a quiet place.
The noise is not outward
But one's heavy inward thoughts
Of what to choose and What not to.
What can be read and what cannot
Most come in with a choice of fixed reads
Some come to see the cheapy reads
Some the attractive illustrations for kids
Some come to add books to their collection.
A book fair, I must say, is a place of grace.
But What's the point of going to a book fair
When poetry isn't treated fair
Is it really that you don't care
Or is it really the fare
For some books might be a nightmare,
But there are those that really care.
Some know what they like and want
Some don't know what they like and want.
Know that whatever book you choose
Is a choice of yours and it's completely fair.
But don't leave poetry unnoticed it's completely unfair,
Just stand stop and stare.
So that poetry may gain some love at the fair.
And poems may gain some lover's affairs
Apart from those nasty snarls and stares.
