~ They’re only paper ~
~ letters, words, and paragraphs ~
~ but they hold the world ~
Welcome back to the second day of the 2018 A to Z Blogging Challenge, and today’s haiku puzzle.The letter of the day is B, so your job is to figure out the word that begins with B that is suggested by today’s haiku. Hmmm – paper, with letters, words, and paragraphs, but still holding all the world inside? What could they be? Let us know your answer in the comments.
Books!
And what do you mean “only paper”? There’s e-books [which I guess are only electrons?] and audio books which are CDs.

Wow, I’m so old school! I’ve read lots of books electronically (including War and Peace, because the paper book was too heavy to lug around), but that didn’t even occur to me while I wrote this haiku. Maybe think of it this way – These Books Here (the ones on my shelf) are only paper – even though Those Books There (the ones in my e-reader or the audio CD) are digital patterns. Does that help?
Anyway, you got what I was thinking of Well done! Thanks for visiting.

That’s all? I’d say that’s plenty. Books are always enough!
To quote Doctor Who: “You want weapons? We’re in a library! Books! The best weapons in the world!” (from Tooth and Claw)
Your first thought was the best thought. Well done.

I’m not as diehard a fan as I should be, but I love that quote!
Yes, Books of course, but the innovator in me has to think of others – magazines, newspapers, the Declaration of Independence, The Emancipation Proclamation, love letters, a last will and testament…

Words. Words are the world’s best weapons. No matter how they’re written. And really, though I love Doctor Who, I’d never say you or anyone else “should” be a fan. You do you.

Books of course! And I’m partial to the paper ones. Fun theme for A to Z!
