Could not believe I skipped that line,
but words appeared before my eyes.
The new meaning swiftly aligned,
filled me with glee, felt so surprised.
I read this book a thousand times,
could not believe I skipped that line.
It followed great reason and rhyme,
but this new phrase made this book shine.
Pictures and sayings, well combined,
made so much sense, I felt so wise,
could not believe I skipped that line,
I thought I had it memorized.
My first real book perfect design,
knew every word it was all mine.
One sentence changed what I defined,
could not believe I skipped that line.

Beautiful lines that go very well with the picture. The repetition of line…could not believe I skipped that line… is the added attraction.😊💐💖
Thanks so much, KK. Happy you liked it.💕
Oh yes, really. My pleasure 💖
Re-reading a work after some time has passed can offer so many wonderful surprises and insights. ^_^
I absolutely agree. I think personal growth also contributes to perceptions when re reading a book after some time has passed.💕
Agreed. I love that reading is a genuine life experience, and so it can change drastically depending on age, mood, etc. while enjoying it. It’s just that magical. ^_^
Absolutely 💕
Love your interpretation, grace! Well written and oh, I hope I didn’t skip a line 😉
Many thanks, Simone. 💕🤣💕
I love the format in this one. The repeated line adds a sing-song effect and ties each stanza to the others. The theme is wise as well, and resonates with me. I know the feeling of discovering something new in a book or story or poem I haven’t read for ages. Nicely done, Grace. 🙂
Thanks so much, Mike. One line can make such a difference at times.💕😊💕
