Isaiah Zerbst Poet Sonnet

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.

Darlene Gifford August 18, 2015 at 11:36 AM 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
