Masks
She had blue skin,
And so did he.
He kept it hid
And so did she.
They searched for blue
Their whole life through,
Then passed right by -
And never knew.
-Shel Silverstein

the.bookish.valkyrie @Suzze the collection this poem came from, #EveryThingOnIt, was printed postmortem. It's pretty great! 8y
Suzze @Valkyrie923 That's why I don't know it! As a kid's bookseller, I sold a boatload of it, but never read it myself. Duh. Time to get a copy. 8y
ValerieAndBooks Love how you incorporated this poem with the picture! 8y
the.bookish.valkyrie @ValerieAndBooks thanks! I felt like it was too perfect an opportunity to pass up! 💙 8y
