Paper scratches a certain way,

You hold it;

Paper pages graze, abrade fingertips.

*****

It’s a roughness lingering, sheltering;

Carrying with it —

Words; stories sending pulses racing.

*****

Printed letters have a smoothness,

Inky darkness that —

Transforms, creates plot and resolution.

*****

A book online is sublime,

Swiping pages with —

Ease; providing reviews so effortlessly.

*****

I prefer to type manuscripts —

Online; to fix —

Errors on computers; to research.

*****

Ushering together scenes, opening screens.

Learning how to —

Write character conversation, devise flow.

*****

Gathering the pieces of your writing —

Together; makes the —

Writing process via computers un-constrained.

*****

But, if you’re published, preference —

Turns to paper —

Novels; loved by weary fingertips.

*****

Covers soft or hard with —

Embellishment, texture, graphics;

E-books, paperback, hardcover — your preference?
