A Breath of Fresh Air

​Grab your books, 
she says.
Quiet those voices, 
she says.

A walk down the hall, 
is that all it takes?

Push open the door,
just a smidgen more.

All of a sudden,
I can breathe.

Cobwebs be gone,
limbs stretch out.

Find a cozy spot,
under a tree
against a wall
next to a friend
on the ground.

Crack open the spine,
a boy learning he's a wizard
a girl trying to speak the words in her heart
a boy who put all of his feelings in a suitcase
a robot turning into a mother.

​A breath of fresh air.

This makes me want to just grab my book and read. I think I'll do just that!

Ah, sounds like the perfect way to enjoy a good book. I'm sure the fresh air, sunshine, and book were the perfect combination!

This makes me long for summer reading. I bet your students worked better after this fresh air break.

I love your descriptions of the books, like peeking over the shoulders of the children reading. This poem feels so comfortable.

I was skimming through the comments, trying to just read entries about books, but was pulled in by a poetry plug. Imagine how delightful it was to discover it was a poem about books and reading. A breath of fresh air, indeed!
