You perfectly captured a feeling and scent that I love so much, and why bookstores and libraries make me happy.
Outstanding!!! Loved it!!!
Wow, nice description of books written before our time 😍
I can smell it. Very well done.
Ooh, there’s nothing like the smell of books! Wonderful poem, J R 🙂
No one writes about this...and yet we do notice... Thanks for the olfactory interest! 👃
Suckered in by the title and subtitle...and the poem did not disappoint! Exquisite stuff, well done!
You really captured how unique the scents of a library are & how true about the words! Very lyrical, too.
Just beautiful!
Love the imagery, great job! 😊
