Brand new book
Brand new book
As the line hits the paper
A distinct smell, I remember
Nothing like writing in a new book
The pure blank space I look forward to corrupt
As the ink sets in the page
Spreading slowly on a rampage
My heart fills with delight
At this new twisted spite
Then when the page is full
The new book seems quite dull
So to the side it goes
Just another old object in the home

Charlene, your first verse is marvellous, a complete poem in itself. But I do hope you are keeping all 'the filled-up books'; I think they will be a source of great pleasure some day.
