Etymological Grace

Friday Fictioneers prompt

I once met a renowned author. Neither did I take a selfie, nor autograph …. just stopped reading his books.

You can feel, not define unquenched thirst
as eyes grow weak, but books come first
dark-rimmed glasses frame my old face
showcasing a mind one cannot ace

as eyes grow weak, but books come first
I befriend authors, meeting them never
showcasing a mind one cannot ace
they may not match etymological grace

I befriend authors, meeting them never
You can feel, not define unquenched thirst
they may not match etymological grace
dark-rimmed glasses frame my old face
