The library in summer: Empty, echoing with ghostly Footsteps of other, unseen Readers
(Side note: if you guys can help me come up with a better name for this absurdly short poem, I'd apreciate it. LOL)

Good poem.
Short and sweet. Makes me want to stalk the narrow alleys of a cool, quiet library.
I would name it
Story Cave. Because when it's cool, it's like a cave of stories.

The Unseen Reader
The Unseen Reader might be a good title. It was a great poem! Short and mysterious--but completely true as well!
Title
How about: LoriAnn is very, very lonely at the library all by herself and misses her Daddy severely (and Mommy, too).
Ok, so it's not a title...and it's longer than the actual poem...but it's true and is the influence behind "desolate" thoughts!
Hey, short is good sometimes
Hey, short is good sometimes - nothing absurd about it!
And the poem itself was fantastic. It really struck a cord with me for some reason. You know, there could be an entire story out of that...

Brother: Your character should drive a motorcycle.
Me: He can't. He's in the wilderness.
Brother: Then make it a four-wheel-drive motorcycle!
Hmmm...
I don't know, LoriAnn. I think I disagree with Mary here. You were right; it is absurd. But, oh well, as long as you enjoyed writing it.
