Wow what a beautiful, simple poem! Gorgeous images, and wonderful use of the five senses.
I love the feeling that "old books" and "basil" and "peppermint" creates.

Wonderful.

I would love opinions from a talented writer like yourself on my work, it would mean a lot!

This is one great poem!
It's so.. so very general and... while reading this, I pictured a vintage girlie "eating up" books for a living... it's so realistic.
The basil, peppermint and incense, this was really brilliant. :)
