My favorite place
Browsing for hours space
Ink filled shelf mazeAlong Old Town’s busiest street
Fantasy and Science Fiction meet
Wild dreams with care treatRows upon rows of books
Customers in all manner of looks
Geeks and nerds in every nookKind magic filled atmosphere
All welcome however queer
There whenever the world feels to severeMy favorite store

My second poem for Global Poetry Writing Month, inspired by today’s prompt. To write a poem about a specific place – a particular house or store or school or office. So I choose my favorite store in Stockholm. Which also happens to be one of the best places I ever worked.

I like this description of a bookstore: “Ink filled shelf maze”
Thank you. I usually hunt down that kind of bookstore wherever I’m visiting, if there is one to find. ;-)
Sounds like a great maze to get lost in!
Sounds like a wondrous place to visit and inhabit. You had me at books, fantasy, and sfi-fi. Your words paint a vivid picture.
oh there’s nothing like an old book store! there’s one not to far from me, in a little town down by the delaware river…
Looks like a peachy place to work.
