Trespassing

This was written for the Challenge 3 of the De Gustibus Non Est Disputandum group. So I had to use three words and they were elan, sanctum, and sibylline.

 

This sanctum

Is so calm

Peaceful

And alone

 

So many books

Fill the shelves

And line the walls

I’ve never seen such an elegant library

 

It isn’t mine

I’m only a trespasser

I could not have

Made something so élan

 

I just stumbled upon a door

That seemed so

Sibylline

And had to see what it was it hid

 

 I wonder who left it behind.

Speedy!!! You were the first to finish this challenge at break neck speed...almost as soon as I posted it! I haven't even written one yet.......but you have set the bar indeed...with a very interesting take on the three words from De Gustibus Non Est Disputandum's word and or picture challenge----don't forget to put that in the description so people know which challenge you are taking on. So the three words were elan...sanctum and sibylline. I loved your interpretation --I felt a little like Alice in Wonderland...and was left wanting. I hate cliff hangers always have- I am one of those terrible people that read the last pages in a book because if my favorite character has died I want to prepare myself for the let down...lol lol Oh I am jabbering what I mean to say is yes I loved it but I wanted more...I wanted you to write on.....but alas it is for us to delve upon....and you have given me a wonderful idea for the next challenge. Great job!
