A Plagiaristic Poem From The Shelves Of The Cozy Dove
Book Titles Are The Stolen Lines From The Shelves Of My Local Hostelry
Introduction
I was having a drink in the Cozy Dove which has some well-stocked bookshelves, there are a lot of books about cricket, but I thought there might be enough to create a sonnet. I momentarily thought about an acrostic using the pub's name but then that might be too difficult, especially with the "Z", though there are books that start with the letter "Z".
You should be able to find all these titles in the pictures I have shared here.
As one of the titles mentions a rainbow I have included the first song I heard by Public Service Broadcasting "ROYGBIV" for you to enjoy as you read.

Inshallah
Istanbul is a city bristling with life, a place where past and present, sacred and profane, intertwine under the watchful gaze of the Sultan Ahmet Mosque. As I explore this crossroads of cultures with Maya, my nine-year-old niece and the daughter of my late brother-in-law Frank, and my wife Nadia, Frank's sister, I find myself on a journey not just through Istanbul's history, but also into the depths of my own beliefs. Staying with Maya and her mother Elvan, my sister-in-law, I begin to see the city anew through their eyes, and to understand why James Baldwin said it "revived" him.
