In Love of Books

I believe in stories of all kinds and lands
Of magic, mundane realities, or mermaids
Of odd men, powerful women or barmaids
Tales with color, tragedies or merry bands
Classics with outdated sentiments
Cookbooks with unheard condiments
Real life anecdotes of self-made personalities
Made-up exaggerations in multi-narrator

fantasies

All kind of books find home on my shelves
Save for compilations of ‘advice’ by moonlighters
Save ‘self-help’ titles by perishable authors
I’d rather read biographies of fake elves
