Books may become a thing of the past  
As technology decides what will last  
But a person is more than just a flashy jacket  
That entices the reader to pause a bit.  
 
So, not with books that are going away  
I hope you and your poetry are here to stay  
And you will write more as time permits  
For all to read and think of it.
