Ode to the author <br />~ <br />I gave myself to a book <br />fell to to vice of each page <br />the unknown adventure lay ahead <br />a whimsy of the authors whim <br />I read on and felt each word <br />often as spoken by myself <br />the phrase and stories echoed <br />into my dreams and daily thought <br />a character underwritten <br />followed each chapter <br />captivated by such a tale <br />I followed onwards <br />what words painted a picture <br />such as all I saw and felt <br />a life is what the author gave <br />upon scribing a soul <br />to the page<br /><br />Matthew Holloway<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-to-the-author/
