The bridge of books

Original Submission by Yasithma Amadoru

The bridge of books

Imagine reading every day

Making a bridge or a tower out of them

Well well well

That’s what I did

One day ten minutes

Another twenty

Today thirty

Tomorrow forty

In my dreary bed room

Where the bridge is formed

I started reading the book I don’t understand

At the end of the bridge well understood
