books are shelved side by side
front cover touching back cover touching front cover
it’s so you don’t judge them by their fronts
instead let’s assess them by their spines, soft or hard
bend neck to the right for books in English
angle to the left for books en français


Bonjour ! I’ll continue to write about my favorite French-inspired things, as well as books, chocolate, music, movies, and postcards, but to change things up a bit, I will also share a 50-word poem each day in the month of January!
These micro-poems are based on personal observations, pesky intrusive thoughts, and general anxiety about getting older. Got any book recommendations? Let me know in the comments below!
This poem is from my poem-a-day series (January 2024).
