Write a poem that contains no more than 100 words and no less than 90 words. If you repeatedly use the same word it only counts once. For example if the word umbrella was used 10 times in your poem you would only count it once.<\/p>\n

Books<\/p>\n
By Patricia Harris<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Musty old tomes<\/p>\n
In plies overgrown<\/p>\n
Falling from every corner<\/p>\n
Of my home.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Reading each with reference,<\/p>\n
Feeling though each is a member<\/p>\n
Of my own beloved family.<\/p>\n
Words written down,<\/p>\n
Read quite often in the passing time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Well worn spines<\/p>\n
On covers handled too many times,<\/p>\n
Pages smeared with fingerprints<\/p>\n
Still read just fine.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Beloved stories<\/p>\n
Standing the test of time,<\/p>\n
Reminding me of less complicated<\/p>\n
Periods in my mind.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dreams dripping ink,<\/p>\n
In ancient yellowed pages.<\/p>\n
Telling childhoods oldest thoughts<\/p>\n
For the world to see<\/p>\n
The love that remains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
