The emotions keep changing,
Laughter bursts out from me,
Anger forms within me,
Love comes from my heart,
Tears stream from my eyes.
And yet all I am doing
Is reading a book.

- Comment from author about the poem: Why do some authors bring such emotions to me. The video was Benny Goodman only 8 months before he started Heaven's swing band.

I know. Some of those words can be a bugger to read
They surely can SC.

A fine write Gold.
Thank you Orchi.
All this from reading a book shows you are still very much alive my friend.
Very true d a, much appreciated.
Andy
Yeah, I can understand . Books take us into another place and time and the feelings and emotions we have then are so nicely and strongly portrayed in a few lines.
Thank you Jayasree, books can certainly take us away from ourselves and bring all emotions to us.
Andy
Happy Birthday Andy!
🍾🥂... 🍻
here's to a covid free year ahead
my friend
Thank you Mek but it is not until 6th October, the US calendar confuses things.
Andy
ooops, my bad
still, thanks to you
I indulged in a few more sips
toasting to your good health, over the weekend
I guess, I've got some more indulgent sips
to look forward-to in October
(do remind me, erm
for your health's sake, ahem...) lol
Must be a really good book. And this a great write Andy. ; )
It is very good, I struggle to put it down and although I will finish it today I do not want it to end.

I've read a lot of Clive Cussler books and its the same way. That man knew how to tell a story. Unfortunately, he past away over a year ago. But my collection of his books still grows.
So does mine, I have been reading Cussler for many years.
Those emotions, the churning, that hold, now that’s the true art of communication- that you have worded so well here.
Thank you suresh, it is amazing what words can do to us.
Andy
It shows you have heart dear Andy that even a book can bring out many emotions - -- love the honesty in your seven lines.
Thank you Fay, much appreciated.

Good observation, Andy. It seems to me that some images, words, and melodies come to the artist not from the artist; these are universally felt.
So true Jerry I have recently written a poem about art, music and words which I will put on here soon.
