Not sure what to choose
A familiar tale I've read before?
Or something altogether new?
Shall I laugh and cry with the characters I know,
Friends I've always loved?
Or should I embark on an unknown path
And embrace whatever comes?
I grab the new book, ready to sail
On a strange and unexplored sea.
Ready to make new acquaintances
With every chapter I read.
I sit down in my favorite chair
I can smell the fresh, unturned pages.
I read the first words, I'm already there,
The scene unfolds before me
And as I become enveloped by fancy
I'm lost to the world
Deep in another,
No one can reach me...

I love this poem; it captures the wonder of what-to-read-next perfectly. I go through that a lot. :)

Great poem! It's just how I feel, too. I love how books all smell different. And I also love how you said the characters were friends you've always loved. I feel that way with my very favorite books, too.

You captured the adventure
You captured the adventure of reading a book wonderfully. I especially like the first lines, since I know that staring-at-the-shelf dilemma very well.
