LOW-TECH MARVELI do not flash undignified
Blinking for attention
Require fifteen META tags
Prodding your direction.
No need to power-up for me.
I’m cookie, bug and virus-free.
My editor checked snopes for me.
So you can trust me worry-free.
I am your book
Come dive inside.
Release yourself
Let’s take a ride.

I love it, Jill! A book is so much more relaxing, too!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I'm glad to have found your blog and will be back often.
I love this poem, btw. I love the feel of a book in my hands and for the life of me can't understand the draw of a Kindle.
Hooray for low-tech marvels!
(Your line about cookies did send me back to Janet's "C is for Cookie" post...not your fault!)
Thanks Kelly, Tricia and Jennifer:)
BTW, Janet's Cookie recipe looks amazing!
ha! i love this! so clever!!! one of my very first poems is an ode to books.. i need to dig it up!
I would love a book with cookies, though.
Great poem, Jill!
I love it, especially "My editor checked snopes for me."
This is very sweet. There are definitely days at my library when I wish there were no computers to deal with, only glorious books!
Thanks Cindy, Kelly, Jacqui, Lisa:)
Lisa, it drives me nuts when kids come to the library and just play on the computers and then check out a movie, no books. ACK!
LOL! Your poem made me laugh and nod...and now I may step away from the computer...maybe...
Thanks, Tara.
It is soooooo hard to step away from this blinking box:)
