Monday Poetry

Poetry

Hidden Within Books

by Patricia Harris


everything is in chaos,

political awareness
is enough to drive most of us
to the brink of death...

so I have decided that I will be found
hidden within my books,
hidden from the news,
hidden from the fear...
hidden in worlds written
to create personal peace.

in a time when dystopia
is current events,
I will choose fantasy,
romance and poetry...
to carry me away.

One thought on “Monday Poetry

  1. It’s a, oood, escape, from reality, especially as the world goes, CRAZY, and, we don’t want to be, affected by it anymore, we will always find that, much- needed escape, in the, volume of, books, that we are, reading.
