I keep stored in my library <br /> a treasury of poetry. <br />These riches I’m prepared to share <br />with anyone who visits there. <br /> <br />They’re sure to find something to please <br /> somewhere in my anthologies. <br />They’ll find great poets from the past. <br />Whose golden words were writ to last. <br /> <br />Philosophy and high romance <br /> or choose at a random take a chance. <br />They’ll find more formal verse than free <br /> but I think I can guarantee. <br /> <br />Theres something there to suit your taste <br />just take your time no need for haste. <br />If your inspired and wish to write <br /> the desk is placed to catch the light. <br /> <br />The only rule you must obey <br /> is do not take my books away. <br /> Through hard experience I have learned <br /> that borrowed books are not returned. <br /> <br />If you should choose to visit me <br /> you’ll find me in my library. <br />That’s where I spend most of my time <br />composing metred verse in rhyme. <br /> <br />22-Mar-08<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/make-yourself-at-home-for-friend-thad/
