I think the words within poetry create a potion that, when you sip from it, casts a #magical spell. #liiteraryluck @vkois88 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

"During the years when you knew nothing.
And I knew everything, I loved you still.
Condescendingly of course,
From my high perch.
Of teenage wisdom."
These lines make me laugh as it was descriptive of me. I am not at home, but found this book/ poem I gave my mother for one of her birthdays in her "stacks". #poetry @TheSpinecrackersBookClub
#day19 #augustphotochallenge. Found myself reflecting on poets/poems all day!
