Ode to Bookstore

Ode to Bookstoreby Nolan Mealer, age 12

The bookstore on the corner With the electric sliding doors And soft carpeted floors I adore you The bookstore on the corner Home of my favorite thing Whatever will it bring To the reader The bookstore on the corner The smell of the pages I could stay for ages But I only have an hour The bookstore on the corner With the quiet voices talking I just kept on walking Through the packed shelves The bookstore on the corner This book I haven’t finished But my excitement won’t be diminished I will return
