Day #7 of poetry challenge. Ramble Poem.


Virtual Bookstore

Animal, vegetable, or mineral?

The book's in very good condition with only
minor shelf wear and creases.
If it weren't for Amazon I don't know
what I'd do.
Just dropped $42.35 on two field guides,
a book simply called Animal and a book
of poetry exercises (deep knee bends and strength training)
by John Fox.

Feel vaguely guilty.
Don't I have enough books already?
Can't wait until it's in my hot little hands.
You say you don't like getting packages in the mail.
What's wrong with you?!!!

Some days I absolutely love the internet.
Usually I just window shop, adding to my already
gargantuan wish list.
Four books.
Now all I have to do is wait.
The hardest part....

Elle The PoetBay support member heart!
I hate those wish lists, before I know where I am I've broken the bank - had my credit card snatched and placed under lock and key - but there is a kind of thrill to order something and then wait for it to arrive - in my case, I've usually accidentaly pressed the wrong button and end up with something I didn't want and have to send back - good luck with your poetry challenge
