I Know A Perfect Place To Hide

I know a perfect place to hide --

Where find you no one will --

‘Tis neither down in valley wide --

Nor high atop some hill.

But somewhere -- so much smaller -- than --

Where seekers never look:

The secret place -- I’ll tell you -- then --

Be found within a book.

DIdn't expect the ending, and pleasantly surprised by it! I live for the day my children realize what I mean when I tell them to get lost in a book.

[Firestone Feinberg]

Not to worry. When our kids were young they played video games... They still do, but they love to read books. They're in their thirties. Glad you liked reading the poem and thanks so much for your warm word

I always enjoy pieces written (well) in somewhat "archaic" English, if that's the right word. It flows quite nicely.

[Firestone Feinberg]

Yes, sir, that's a good word! in fact I'm a bit archaic myself! Thanks very much for taking the time and effort to review this poem. Be well, David

[JM Russell]

the best hiding place there is... no question about that! A great rythym to this one David, almost playful. Do we hide in the book? What if the book contains, all that we are, would we then have to hide the book itself?

[Firestone Feinberg]

You are a special one, JP. Who else asks such questions? Your questions are beautiful as yourself. Thanks for your ever care-full reviews. ...David

[sithlordjp]

you are welcome sir.

[Relic]

Characters and lives of others certainly have a life of their own if we spend enough time reading. Nice poem David.

[Firestone Feinberg]

Thank you so much, relics, for your kind and wise review. Characters certainly do have a life of their own -- a life longer than ours... to Life! then... David
