The Library Quad by Amy Cotter


The smell of fresh bark chips fills the air,
sitting under the tree during a day that is fair.
For it has a prime view of an area never bare;
but is traveled with ease and care.

Pathways crossing, bringing together the different worlds around,
the pavement leading to the books that are bound.
For the strut of heal and toe can be found,
traveling this uneven mound.

Bounding from side to side in the afternoon rays
the black lab pup, tugging his owner down the way.
A sudden stop to stay at bay,
the excitement still willing to stay.
“Sitting and waiting? Alright.” she says.
His tail moving around in a sway,
so many friends to make in one day.

Off in the distance, an echo that expands;
the voice of opera graces the library land.
With fine tuned ears, one can experience this great grand,
through the chaos of college life and man.
