I'Ve Never Kissed a Toad - Hexsonnetta

I've never kissed a toad, or lived a fairytale, or seen a spouting whale. I'm silent as a road, or where Euphrates flowed when Moses made the veil. I've borne the greatest minds the Father ever made; each one with care was laid where common folks could find each ancient treasure's kind. Some left, but others stayed. A tall library shelf, I'm trapped within myself.

And what a way to be trapped! I also have many books and can peek into their lives and what they offer as much as I want. Different lands, different fantasies, great minds, Master poets, etc. Imagine them alive and living on my book shelf. Dr. Seuss touching elbows with Phil Silverstein, etc. ~~Darlene
