RIF's "In Love with Reading" Poetry Contest

When I Read

Every time I start to read,
I begin to think of different worlds
Worlds where you can fly if you believe,
And never have to grow up
Places where you can chase a rabbit that is late,
Leading you to a never ending hole
A land where you walk down a yellow road,
Meeting friends without a heart
Finding a golden ticket in candy
Where all of your dreams can come true
