Opening Mood | The Preface Of A Book
Show me a prologue,
Forward,
Or a
Preface to a book—
And I’ll tell you
if it’s
worth a second look.
A good read
deserves
a meticulous introduction—
One that sets
An engaging
tone.
Like the giving of
Hors d’oeuvre’s
Before a festive meal
Opens up
One’s palette—
So must the
Prologue
Give the
Book’s
Content an
Captivating
Tenor.
Otherwise,
Let it be like
Sensual negligée
That a desiring
Husband
Sees
On his
His loving wife—
Secretly
Thinking—
The
Vision
Before me,
I can’t wait
To devour
Thus,
Setting the
Mood
For
Another
Passion filled
Night.
