A secret! A secret!
I just heard a secret
And nobody else must hear.
No talking!
No telling!
No whispering!
No hinting!
Or a secret will disappear.
A secret! A secret!
I just heard a secret!
Must it be kept so well?
A week?
An hour?
A minute?
A second?
I'm afraid I'm going to tell.
from Is Somewhere Always Far Away? Poems About Places by Leland B. Jacobs, illustrated by Jeff Kaufman, 1993, Henry Holt and Company
