RIDING PAGES

RIDING PAGES

I happened on
A thick
Book
Whose pages
In a kind 
Of excitement 
Shook...

I opened
The volume
And forth
Poured
Laughter
From pages
That quivered!

Next came
Terror
As the lines
Trembled...

Fear was
Followed by
Calm
And the 
Pages
Lay 
Lazily
One on the
Other!

Soon there
Came along 
Mystery and thrill
And the book
Shook
In anxiety...

Last came 
Love and joy
Pages gave
Off A whiff
Of immeasurable 
Romance...

Clearly
I was loathe
To close 
This book...

Then I figured
If I did
I could
Open it
Riding on
High emotions
Again!
