they have so many stories to tell
leather bound, some think some thin
heavy or light like a feather
more tales, imaginations to spin
*
grabbing for our attention
but wait before you go
look down deep to the archives
untold journeys you know
*
into dust willing I descend
books so large it takes two
who knows the pages turned
by famous people who knew
*
conjurors of mystery
history will claim the stash
faded away are prose, poetrys
hidden in this place of the past

Thank you for visiting Moondustwriter. One of the many exciting things I've had the honor of doing is writing and publishing in multiple genres (including education) in E. African for E. Africa. As a writer, it is a thrill to write for children (on all continents) who want to learn.
I've been part of the blogging community for more than 13 years. Some old timers may remember the award winning (2011 Twitter Shorty ) blog community - One Stop Poetry. I was the co-producer of that fast growing blog community.
I am a published writer, poet, artist and photographer. I have written, as well as edited, for periodicals, radio, blogs and fellow writers.
There are many facets to this moon - my joy is in meeting you!

Hi Moondust – yes so many dusty books that make up libraries – public and private .. love them all – I’ve just bought a book published in 1903 .. the paper is thick, almost blotting paper like, while the edges were cut with a not too sharp cutter .. common I’m sure .. but it’s quite light in weight too .. it has that dusty smell as well ..
Your belch of history could be so true .. so much lost over time .. cheers Hilary

I read your poems, sometimes I can write a few words about the poem, other times, it’s best not to type anything but read and enjoy, this is one of those days. Best wishes to you Leslie. 🙂

There is so much to know. The most painful choice in learning is deciding what you will never know about.
