In the Stacks

IN THE STACKS in the library how wonderful all the books in the stacks among all the books is where we secretly meet in the library at that little table in the stacks i said i love you you said let’s just be friends in the library i found my heart’s desire among romance novels forgot the author’s name g.w. something or other in the library in the stacks beneath the “quiet” sign we obeyed the rules just kissing and feeling Dave Austin

Love this tanka and the story you created in just four verses. Cannot help wondering how the lovers did in their grades? LOL~Delice

Dear Daver, even your tanka is witty! I can just picture the lovers getting together behind stacks of books. Hope the librarian doesn't find them! Cute and delightful! Love, carolyn

hmmmm, I am taking that final word two different ways. Which way did YOU mean it? I enjoyed this one on love among the romance novels.
