some want lovers and wine
but for me a book is divine
curled up in my inglenook
lost in the magic of a book
so engrossed the hours fly
until I hear a hiss and sigh
oh my fire is about to die …
d’Verse, inglenook in 44 words, Linda – internet photo
prompt took me straight to books
as that’s the only way I know of inglenooks!

I would like to give each their own place! But your words inspire me to find comfort in one when the other is not available! 😂

The book cannot warm you forever… we need fire as well

Here I sit before the fire
Weary eyes begin to tire
Books before me lay unread
Fading thoughts. Dreams of bed
Memories of way back when
Things seemed so much better then
Wine and lovers, endless song
But now it’s time I shuffled on

I too enjoy books. Real books… I suppose though that electronic books have their place.
One thing I have learned though is that if I don’t like where a book is going I don’t have to finish it!

For me also – though I don’t get much time to curl up with one at the moment, it’s my favourite activity whenever I do!

I learned a new word! We filled our inglenooks with bookcases! Anyway, glad to hear you are safe and dry. 2020 just isn’t going to go quietly into the night, is it?

“Hiss” caused me to show a puzzled look, but soon after I smiled. Well done, Kate.

Very deftly told,, Kate, but remember a flame may be dying, but it’s never dead until it’s OUT. Never let that happen. Read on warmly, Sister.
