She was so lovely!
He loved her.
She did not know.
Even if she did, would she have
cared or reciprocated?
She cared for her books.
They were her love.
Even he loved to chew on books.
Once he had tried making his
presence felt.
She shrieked.
Even he got startled!

When she decided to move homes,
even he decided to make a move.
He sneaked in with her books.
They always gave him comfort
and nourishment.
When she would unpack that box
and set her books on the new shelves, he, the bookworm, would also get a new
place.

This is Granonine. At first I thought, "Mouse." Then I realized it was a bookworm, and had to laugh at the ingenuous use of the little creature :)
ReplyDeletefun read. i love your sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteJames McEwan. I enjoyed the humour and the easy flow of the story. At first I thought 'mouse', but yes, bookworm is perfect.
ReplyDeleteBookworm! Great idea. And I love how you explained this one! Cute. Nicely done Solothefirst
ReplyDeleteI have a little love who likes to chew on books. It's her "You're not paying enough attention to me." We had to put a board along the bottom two rows of the bookshelf. I love the way this played out. It almost felt like a riddle creeping toward a conclusion.
ReplyDeleteSimply delightful, Anita!
ReplyDeleteI hope no books were hurt. Cute tale. I enjoyed it immensely.
ReplyDeleteOh, I was expecting a rat. So glad it was just a bookwork. Great fun!
ReplyDeleteI love this love story. At first I thought it was a ghost and was confused at eating the books. But a bookworm, that’s clever!
