A Prison Cell For Me

a prison cell for me

with six foot walls a grimy gray
an eight foot ceiling mothen light
today is nothing new
my gruel will come to greet the noon

Great poem, Ralph...scares me! The idea of being locked up! No! Panagiota (Cat Concrete Poem. Appreciate your unselfishness! It was fun to be naked before all poetically speaking.hard for me to be otherwise.))

Good for you, Panagiota:] You have to walk the length of coals sometimes to learn the different forms but it's fun. You also need better software to create a great concrete form.
