Locked Up Light

A silky satin sash about the box
   Can keep your present's secret for a while
But certain sources, call them 'leaky locks'
   Reveal that which is hidden in your smile



            
             Iambic Pentameter

Iambic pentameter's really best for sonnets, but I didn't have the time tonght…. Hence, the poem you've read and graciously commented on. Thank you, Gregory. Cheers, Gershon
