(True story.  I am now on my next novel.  Can't seem to get past p10 though)

 

I have a library book I do

Borrowed for to read

It does look rather interesting

An interest I do need

 

To take me 'way from poetry

And give my mind a rest

This book I think will do the trick

A nice and welcome guest

 

I've just got to page 64

Plot and people weave

My rhyming mind wants to unwind

The book says “please don't leave”

 

I put this poem you've just read

Into page 64

A bookmark for my storyline

While I go rhyme some more

 

I'm up to ten new poem drafts

Stored in 64

Keeping this page bookmarked

'Till I come back for more

 

The library calls to ask me

Do I want extend ?

Yes, I want to read my book

I want to reach the end

 

I visited my coffee shop

Book under arm, well caught

I will admit it felt quite large

Though safe from harm – I thought

 

The jolly book jumped from my arm

Shop poem-covered floor

I need to hold off poetry

And read past 64

 

(I did finish the book....eventually)
