    Windowless Prison

     How did I escape from the prison with no window?
    I turned into earth worm,
    dogged a tunnel,
    crawled nonstop until I saw break of dawn......

    How did I escape from the prison with no window?
    I formed into misty air,
    flew between spaces,
    evaporated through concrete wall until I reached outdoor......

    How did I escape from the prison with no window?
    I christenized into heavenly angel,
    connected to eternity,
    soared upward until I mastered art of philosophy......

    How did I escape from the prison with no window?
    I tormented into a runner
    conquared marathons,
    endured gravely pains until I crossed line of destiny......

    How did I escape from the prison with no window?
    I imagined like a poet,
    erupted volcano of emotion,
    burned to ashes until I claimed victorious freedom......

    Interesting poem the images created in it play on words is well done... I like this line best 'endured gravely pains until I crossed line of destiny' it just stood out at time read... maybe because use to run a lot but getting lazy/old don't do much more than walk to car to go anywhere...

    I think many can relate the the struggle you describe, excellent! Maybe it will be an inspiration to those in uncomfortable situations? Maybe just a feeling of encouragement to those stricken with fear? There is an escape! Poety may be the start! Well done!

    Great poem but you need to watch your spelling, you have a voice in your poems, n if you have an accent it's being portrayed throygh all of your poems thats not a bad thing though it helps make your writing a little more unique

    Thanks for hearing my voice in spite of strong accent. Might I include your comment into my book? Sincerely, Susan

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
