Hope

Deprivations slave On cold island rock Forced into a cave Held against my will Captive from daylight Mean men take me Tie me with rope Seal the entrance No food, no sleep I smile wide Earthquake comes Releases Freedom! Me Created on 1/06/15 for Dr. Mehta’s – “Diminished Hexaverse” – Poetry Contest

Hi Casarah, Thank you so much. You are too kind. I was actually influenced by your "Some Kind Of Luck" Diminished Hexaverse in writing my poem. I don't do this style of poetry as a career so I looked to the pro, (you) to get a clue. Your poem was very nice and interesting by the way. Thank you for your inspiration. Have a great day. Earl
