A Long Life by Anne Easton
“You are old, / little book,” /
Said a little / brown child, /
“Yet your pages / are clean, /
They are still / stuff and white. //
A good reader reads with proper phrasing. He/She reads a group of words, not word for word. That means a pause for commas and a stop for periods.
Example:

The best words / everyday /
It’s fun, / it’s love, /It’s peace, /
If one starts / with a “please”. /
