Let it be said of me,
“She was open, like a book.”
& like a book,
Some people can’t get much
Further than page 1.
I am a poem-volume
Amidst documents of war;
The thrill explorers felt as
Their schooners left the shore.
One day I’ll be a Favorite Book
Read ‘neath the setting sun.
For now, I’ll stay true to myself
And whisper my page 1.
Shared with dVerse Open Link Night. Check them out for great poetry!

I like the recurrence of page 1.
Thanks for the comment! Yeah I’m not usually as poetic as this but I liked how this one turned out!
There are days I have that Page 1 feeling!! Thankfully they are interspersed with chapters!
That is a great sequel poem for this—the chapters! Thanks for the comment!
skillfully, playfully woven words. Page 1 is where the reader gets hooked :)
Go ahead and start to write.
Sometimes writing seems like the hardest thing in the world to do…
Thanks for the comment!
I love this! It’s a great metaphor, and I relate to it.
It’s a miracle that I came up with it, poetry isn’t my forte hehe. Thanks for the comment!
“I will never write enough” speaks volumes. Cheers.
I can’t think of any other way to describe my lifelong crisis :)
