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