The Eighth of the Seven Sages (The Keys, Part II)

The Poet had mentioned an ancient key.

Honestly, he must spread the cipher;

Easily and openly, for the others to see.

Simple and plain, for others to decipher;

Amazingly, these elements are readily found

Unexpectedly, there were many all-around –

Residing within two simple books,

Upon stores shelves, if only one looks.

So The Poet, began without a sound;

AND

Described the sacred simple solution;

Invoking the tomes where the answers lay -

Conveniently, without any poetic confusion

Thinking, another might need them someday.

“In a bookstore or library, is the calculation.

Open them to alleviate poetic frustration.

Not in fiction or non-fiction, check another preference

Among this area, the keys you’ll find, get the reference?

Really still confused? Dose this jargon make you feel abused?

You might want to ponder the: acrostic, a device poets use."
