A little brown box
Arrived at my door smiling
Oh goodie! it’s here
Got scissors unwrapped
The new book that I ordered
I’ll have a good read
But first a duty
For healthy environment
I must recycle
Cutting with scissors
Dismembering brown cardboard
Workout for muscles
Like the connection and the delayed gratification
Woohoo it’s an exciting day when you get a book in the mail! Just took a bit with the scissors to get it 😉
Yes. Nothing better than a book! And taking time to read it.
Have you opened the book yet? I imagine it would be hard to resist a brand new read 🙂
I began the book yesterday. It is”If the Oceans Were Ink: An Unlikely Friendship and a Journey to the Heart of the Quaran” by Carla Power. I think you would like it.
Thanks, Eileen. I hadn’t thought of that before. 🙂
I love the way you can make the ordinary extraordinary through your poems Ina.
Your comment warms my heart, Andrea. ❤
Very nice to get a new book and to recycle! Lovely
It is nice. Thanks, Lynn.
Poetry is like recycling. One must melt down words and reform them into a new container.
Belated thanks for your perceptive comment from 03/25/2017. I just discovered it.
Would love a review of the book you received. Sounds interesting and timely!
I have to come clean. The box contained Neutrogena face moisturizer. My Haiku was all about the “smiling” Amazon box it came in and the wrestling I had to do to recycle the box. The book was poetic license. 🙂
PS. The next smiling box I received did contain a book, “If the Oceans Were Ink – An Unlikely Friendship and a Journey to the Heart of the Quran” by Carla Power . I begin an eight week study of it in a Living Room Learning class tomorrow night.
Love this! Reminded me of when a new package from Amazon used to arrive 🙂
Absolutely. My box was from Amazon! I enjoyed your comment.
Oh how delicious the arrival of a package in the mail. Enjoy your new bit of treasure! 🌍
Yes. I never get tired of getting a package! 🙂
