The box
or its contents
depends
on the view
The fill
or the
vessel
their value to you
A pretty
enclosure
or bountiful
load
The secret
in knowing
the prince
— from the toad

Loved this one Kurt the incorporation of perception with the help of a fairytale. Is not everything what we see it to be? A fave my friend
Thanks. I have about 100 pages of Fairy Tales I need to get published.
Most welcome Kurt. Then you should have one for Halloween I hope.

A lovely reflection on appearance and substance. Sometimes the greatest treasures are hidden beneath the surface. I especially like your closing thought!
Thanks, Iām glad.
