a day at the library
Sun too bright on my face
it's like tourists day out
at the library; my place of solitude
overrun by the chatter and excitement
And while I get that books
are something to get excited over
I've no idea why anyone would choose
this library to bring tourists to
The scenery outside is much more interesting
with the muted green of the Aussie bush
there's even a bird watching club
just down the road
(though I don't know why people
want to watch birds either)
And now after an hour
of headache inducing tourists
the library has returned to its quiet
but my head still aches in memory of them

Miss Indie
A familiar feeling.:)
I hope you are/were better.
Again mild and meaningful social commentary.
The in-control anguish works its way well,
almost with a sense of dry humour.
S2, L2: I think something's amiss here.
Write on,
Sumeet

Thank you Sumeet. :)
It's been a while since I've done any observational poems, so this one and the other new one are a good way of looking outwards.
When it comes to grammatical terms, I know what nouns and verbs are and that's about it. I used "something" to encompass books as a whole, they are something, rather than individual items, something's.
Thanks again for your wonderful feedback. Always appreciated. :)
