Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
Words are forever
A chapter in the book Precious Gems: An Anthology

Gallery of Tomes

by Gypsymooncat

Written words are much like pearls aglow in subtle shine
Thoughts and feelings glimmering, immortalised in time
Gems flow down the pages, captivating all who read
Each writer leaving legacies for those whom they precede

The pen is wielded by a soul who has a gift to give
A memory to linger after they have ceased to live
Success may only be bestowed upon the lucky few
Yet all will be remembered in some way for what they do 

Writers live forever, like His word engraved in stones
Their works of art preserved within a "Gallery of Tomes"

Earned A Seal Of Quality


This is a prologue for a collection of poems in my Anthology. "Tomes" is loosely used as an alternative word for books, although the correct dictionary meaning is a "volume as part of a series". I hope I'll be excused for "loosely" using this word!

THANKS FOR READING!
