by ELLA FRIEDMAN (2018)
why read?
it’s just paper and ink.
the places in the book
don't exist.
why read?
it is so much easier
to sit and watch
a tv screen
for hours on end.
why read?
the people in the book
they aren't real.
they are just
works of fiction.
why read?
reading is
my refuge
my escape.
reading makes me
laugh
cry
think
change.
reading transports me
to a world so extraordinary
so magical
so unique
that a simple tv screen
couldn't even begin
to capture its beauty.
why read?
why not?
