Tag: World Book Day

It’s World Book Day today – so in honour of reading, here is my poem about it, from Being Me, my me, Laura Mucha, and Matt Goodfellow, Otter-Barry Books.

In the Heart of a Book

Liz Brownlee

I found myself a story

with a place in me to store it

I found myself a wide, new world

so set off to explore it,

I found a scary monster

plus the way to banish it

I found a pool of sadness

and the strength to manage it,

I found the dragon in my soul

learned the way to tame it

I found a new ambition

a path to take and aim it,

I found a way to rest my head

while my worries all unplug

I found a curl of comfort

where each word was a hug,

I found a web of wonders

things I dream about at night

I found a pair of magic wings

and flew into the light.
