This is a lovely write for the 'love' haiku contest. You also used a wonderful picture to accompany your writing. I love the old and well worn and well read books.

There is something very intriguing about the smell and feel of an old, old book. The earmarked pages and sometimes smudges of dirt or even jam makes me ponder over who might have read this book over the many many years since it was printed. I wonder if they enjoyed the book as much as I did. Good luck with the contest!

This work has reached the exceptional level

'I Love....', is short succinct and delightfully descriptive. Woven through each short line are the golden threads of truth. To me this is definitely a six. Good luck with the contest! My fingers are crossed for you.

These words are engaging, interesting, and creative. The author description was thought provoking. I thought about old books and
how I always like to check them out! The poem flows and connects well.
The artwork is perfect and compliments these words.

I adore the smell of old books and those ancient bookshops don't exist anymore as everyone wants a new book to read, but I have some old copies of books that I treasure, your ambient words bring an old book to life, love Dolly x

The invention of the alphabets changed the world. The invention of printing press changed humanity forever. Dog-eared books changed our life. It has definitely changed mine. I love books. Great work.

Everyone here who loves to read and write can relate to loving old books. Your chose of "dog-eared" makes it clear that the book is well loved. Best wishes in the contest!

PS you might want to reword the second line: I count 8 syllables

Absolutely true - a very special and loved aroma. Young ones can't experience this sensory pleasure simply by swiping a screen, although reading on a screen is better than not reading. Well expressed.

This is very well done and from the context alone I think this may be a winning entry. Who, here does not like books and couldn't relate to the words of this little poem?

Your entry was a good idea and well written. Good luck.
