Greetings!
Many thanks go out to editor Matt for including my poem, "The Bookshop," in this new anthology. Here's the poem:
The Bookshop
Old it was
Down a cobblestone street
Hidden around the corner
Off the beaten path
Full of books
Dickens, Wordsworth,
Shelley, Keats, Tennyson,
Austen, Brontë, Eliot,
So many others
He loved it there
Old Tyme London
The bookseller ancient, grey, and cranky
But always willing to help
The young boy learned to appreciate books there
Sifting through the crinkled pages
Air musty...
