#BookReview- In Time for Christmas @CasiMcLean #Romance #TimeTravel


Photo by Snapwire on Pexels.com Time travel fascinates me. Imagine popping into another time period with its technology or lack thereof. Could you fit in, or would people look at you with suspicion? Maybe even lock you away so they can perform tests or hang you as a witch. And what about returning? How would …

The Invasion, a poem


Love this smart, funny poem by Robbie Cheadle- a must read!

robbiesinspiration's avatarRobbie's inspiration

Diana from Myths of the Mirror blog has a writing challenge underway. You can find it here: https://mythsofthemirror.com/2022/01/09/writing-challenge-the-teetering-tbr-pile/.

Poets and writers are challenged to write a poem or story about their TBR. I have used poetic license and written a poem about how my TBR came into existence.

The Invasion by Robbie Cheadle

A loud aggressive ring

brought me fast to the door

I opened it innocently

not knowing the score

***

A long line of books

stood like soldiers of yore

each flashing it’s title

like a banner of war

***

“We’re looking for sanctuary”

declared Orwell, leader of all

“You’re a lover of books

so we’re paying you a call.”

***

“But I’ve simply no room”

I replied with a gasp

“We’ll make a plan, dear”

And they quickly marched past.

***

Up the corridor they tramped

Into my library, so full

“Wake up and make room”
