My first love of books has to come from the Dr. Seuss books. I still enjoy the rythym of the rhyme and how nonsense made sense. I enjoyed waiting to receive each book in the mail because it was tangible,just for me- my “chat” (chattel),as my granny would say. I have written poetry for years now and even named one of my daughters Devin (means poet). There is, I believe, a rhythm in every book you CHOOSE to read. It’s what catches you and draws you into the plot, you own it with every anticipating beat of your heart.
