Ink Stains ~ A Collection of Early Poetry

This is a poem I wrote when I was fourteen years old in my English class. It was an exercise as an adaptation of the poem "The Door" by Miroslav Holub and a great way to learn the power of poetry. I am very grateful for this gift.

The Book

Go and open the Book

Maybe inside there's a word,

or a sentence,

a passage

or even 

a picture

Go and open the book

Maybe inside a dragon is being slain

Maybe you'll read of a magic mirror

or a Kingdom

or the story,

of a story

Go and open the Book

If it's covered in dust

You 

can blow it away

Go and open the book

Even if there's only

endless,

confusing,

words.

Even if there's only

unsolved 

mysteries

Even 

if

nothing

is 

there,

Go and open the Book

At least...

There will be a Title
