Emily followed a fad diet and became weightless
Disregarding the serenity prayer, Bella ignored her messy desk so she could worry full-time about Erskine
Faith was on a mission: find forever homes for all the shelter pets
Al and Margie were as different as soulmates could be
After so many years, Goldilocks' therapist was still harping on the unresolved bear incident

Poem & Art by Sheila Benedis
I love
I am a book artist
want to touch the texture of pages
nature’s smooth and rough
tree bark so tactile
the book’s color
Inspired by nature’s radiant flowers
the book’s smell
remembering nature’s senses
the book’s form
I hear and see the bird’s soaring shape
the book’s ingredient paper
sourced directly from nature
the book’s binding
requiring attention to detail
the book completed
sense of accomplishment
a beautiful sculpture
connected to nature
I am a book artist
