Escape Into A Book

Now this isn't the first poem I've ever written, but it is the first poem to be posted on this blog. This poem expresses my love of fiction and reading. I found the PERFECT picture to go along with this. Enjoy!

When the sad, cruel reality
Is chasing after me
I’ll escape into a book
And begin to read
I’ll turn the pages to a story
I’ll live inside the ink
When I’m inside a fantasy
I don’t care what others think
A juicy novel, or mystery
Where you have to solve a crime
Or a heart racing thriller
Where you travel back in time
I’ll bite my nails during a fight
I’ll rejoice after a victory
I’ll cry over a hero’s death
I’ll pour myself into a story
Yes- escape into a book!
I think that’s what I’ll do
Oh no! Look at this!
My dreaded taxes are overdue.
