Very clever poem. Question: How many trees to fill the average library?

Fantastic Haiku, at first I thought of leaves people press in books, then I read it again. Very Clever indeed.

The magic of a library..what a unique use of the prompt..I am sure leaves would gladly give themselves up for magical thoughts..jae

Your haiku is lovely .... combining the splendor of a forest with a shelf full of books is inspired.

I adore the notion of books being an indoor forest. Beautiful, Rel.

I could live in that indoor forest for quite some time! At least when books are made, the trees go toward something wonderful and lasting!
