You need a Kindle –

she said

 

as I sat there

in her chair

savouring

the moment...

 

Pearls

of rain on the window

the smell

of wet dog at my feet

 

the sound

of Agapanthus

petals, the colour

of thunder,

dropping

from a vase

 

running

my finger down

the spine of a book

waking

sleeping spirits.

 

Do I?

I said.

I loved the way you switched senses too. And there is nothing like curling up with a book and getting lost inside it.

You make it sound so simple, Tina, almost like an aside, yet so effective.

I never contemplated buying a kindle but, having been given one as a present, find it very useful especially when compared to hefty tomes.

Dear Luigi...everything has its place, and the Kindle certainly does have many practical advantages.  My daughter is a regular bookworm, and loves the fact, when she goes away, she doesn't have to pack those 'hefty tomes' in her suitcase anymore.

Hope your Sunday is a peaceful one, and many, many thanks for taking the trouble to pop bysmiley.
