The Boy Who Ate Books

They say, sir, he has
Whole worlds inside him
Characters, larger than life.
Hmm. Lets'  See.

They draw from his depths.
Reels and reels unravel
Roosters cackling at kings
Farms with filthy animals
People made of boogers
Villains hypnotised into underwear heroes
...
This may never end
...
Men with dog faces
Cute cloned kittens
Tragic policemen turned prisoners
...

Terrifying creatures roam within him
...
Growling Sauroposeidons
Deep sea Mosasaurus
Puny Compsoganathus
...

- Ashwin, Aged 7.5

Akshaya's girl who ate books

The Girl Who Ate Books

"I will confess!" she screams
They strap her down and draw from her depths
Reels and reels unravel
Characters larger than Life
The Naughtiest Girl,
Harry and Hermoine
A dog named Shadow
August and Summer
Mathilda
Pippi Longstocking
...
This could go on sir
...
Hungry caterpillars
Children on bikes tracking down clues
Girls hiding in attics, writing diaries
braving bullets, fighting for rights
...
Now she's on about mystic lands sir
...
The Magic Faraway Tree
Forests with mystical pools
Mount Olympus

Sweet ashwin

Hes 7 and a half.
I love him so
I came home late the other day.
He was supposed to be in bed
He calls me at 10pm
Voice tremulous and breaking
"Aatha I can't sleep. I need a cuddle"

I want to fly up and cuddle him so
I tell saro
Soon he wont be asking for a cuddle like this
We had better go!

My sweet sweet sweet boy
Always so constant hes been
Even as kid.
When I had aishu
He was content to just be in the same room as me when I was feeding her
And even now
He just wants to he with me near me
I love him so
