Question: What do we find in all the poetry books
Words

Words take us where we've never been,
They take is there in style!.
A writer spins a tale of love,
And murder for awhile!.

Intrigue can be so very good,
Though it can be quite harsh!.
To kill him in the mansion loft,
Or out upon the marsh!.

To hit him with a pipe of lead,
Or stab him with a knife,
The thing to use just matters not,
Just rob him of his life!.

Or sit him in the living room,
Seduce him all the day!.
To make him think it's heaven here,
So he will want to stay!.

A writers word will form a plot,
Some thick and some are thin!.
They make a world of make-believe,
That we want to join in!.

So writers, write your words so well,
And put them in a book!.
For when I want to visit there,
That is where I will look!.

Funny you should ask that question!. I just realized this weekend that other than The Odyssey and The Divine Comedy I don't own any poetry books!. I will soon, however, own three, and your last stanza is why, except as if I was saying it from me to all of you!.
I'm hoping that you're in it Marvin!. (I'm still cracking up about that!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Haven't read a murder mystery in quite a while!. I think I'll change my reading habits for a short time!. Love your poem, as I always do, but I've decided not to accept that invitation to lunch until you start writing love stories again!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
