I read the poems

I see the bars

the cells we all dwell in

so many different voices
crying the same words

we are chained to the heart
to the mind

to...
       the cells

and so
we
      know
   each        other

though our voices cover all frequencies

float out
beyond the gray bricks
and
look back
           at the prison

such a fragile blue
wih wisps
              of white
         the cries of home
the pull...........the tug of
safe

these 4 walls

but see
seeing
the lines of sight
yes

they are
because you can see--

--you can be shackled

and the
         soul
will

well

it will speak as well as it can
with a chain in it's mouth

Interesting...was reading a thread somewhere in one of the other halls that spoke of originality...and here you take commonality, that which ties us all together, and still give credence to the fact that while we all say....the.........same................thing...

we try so hard
to put our own personal stamp
on it, just as you
did
now.

Viva la difference!

I do believe
your mold
was gold

And so, your diligence in this is paying us all with your odd coinage

Clay....stamped with angel

Brother it is sure hard to follow any of these comments with anything witty or bright to say about your poetry Brian - will ditto what they said do for now? They stole my words honest they did
