A Singular Book📖
A brilliant career we had calved,
The places master and I roamed.
Memories... are all that I have,
While wedged between brothers I’ve known.
The years have not gone very well
Since master’s fortunes have all flown.
He looks for answers from the shelves,
His’try, as books like me have shown
Is bound to repeat, as he delves,
He prays that his luck will come home.
There’s ‘neigh can be done by the elves,
On pages, words written in stone.
Though hundreds of me by ourselves,
Both master and I stand alone.

I’m terribly honored, thank you, Jeffrey. Didn’t express that very well when I broke into limerick.

The verse form is cool - more sophisticated than mere limerick surely?
Content great too.

So thoughtful of you, SweetO, with humble thanks.
And no, no limerick, my dear. That was something else.

Brava Jade! I like the reminiscent quality in the piece and the clear bond between book and reader/master.

Each book has its own personality, sometimes subject to owner's whims. Classics deserve a shelf by themselves, and treasured. Excellent work, and another fine personification Jadey.

Thank you ever so, my well-read & written friend. Especially with my run of verse’d Personifications of late. Writing all of those have actually been relaxing little changes in between other writes I might’ve done otherwise. This was far from apparent to me early on.

This reads like a classic with a dash of subtle fantasy. You should assemble a collection of works like this
