On the Shelf

Written in the 1990s.

On the Shelf

A beginning, an ending
An inside, an out
A title and summary
What is it about

On some pages written
Some still left unturned
On some dust collecting
While others are burned

A mystery within
More than just a cover
A modern-time epic
Of heroes and lovers

A thriller, a romance
Much action and drama
Forever in motion
No need for a comma

Wasted space within
Equals wasted time and doubt
For finding a good book
Is what living’s all about
