Books
Books are bigger than they look
Taking us to distant lands and back
Yet one can fit in your hands
Or several in a stack
Fifty in a dresser drawer
Hundreds on a shelf
You can get lost in them
Or you can find yourself
Comments
Entirely coincidental that I posted a poem called Books just after yours. Yours has the advantage of brevity and rhyme and a memorable ending.

Synchronicity! The 2 consecutively-posted poems entitled "Books" by Ray & Dawson inspire me to turn off Google and open my patiently waiting books. Thanks guys for these wonderful poems!
