Every Tuesday we will be sharing a poem from one of our wonderful Pen to Print and Write On! contributors. We hope you enjoy!**Library by Mary L WalshI remember the gnarly tree trunks towering overheadI remember the sound of branches as the wind kissed the leavesWhispering “Come In, Come in.”I remember the glass domed doors beckoning me through the bay entrance I remember the scent of dust and paperI remember the quietness of the shelved roomI remember running my small fingers along the spines I remember a world of storiesI remember lingering on this one or thatI remember looking for a book by…I remember the books already greedily devouredI remember being hungry for moreEach begging, “Read me.
