There's a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson that goes, "So long as a man thinks, he is free." Nice work, Kaile! Elizabeth I'm grabbing my hat and coat I'm leaving the cat a note Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town! |

This is a wonderful description of freedom. You met the challenge well. "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde "The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief" -Shakespea |

I do so agree with the above, this piece is a good description of freedom!!! Thank You for sharing it with me!! Kaile, I wanted to say you are able to articulate and interpret my poetry in such a way I have trouble doing....with "At First Sight" you told me how I felt in other words...Thank You soooo very much for doing that...it is enlightening and shows me how much I do truly feel!! Wow!! Thanks again my friend!! Bridgette "Somewhere, somehow, it should be possible to touch someone and never let go again. To hold someone, not for a moment but forever." Unknown |

excellent poem. really enjoyed it and it is true, that freedom and life depends on perception. perception is reality. A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry |

Kaile, this is so true. You can cage my body but not my mind or my spirit. Well done! |

You might keep the body under lock and key but you can't capture the mind. Very well done! |
