Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Free verse

Durance Vile

A prison of the mind
Replete with soul decay
Fists flying fervently
To the beat of a toxic refrain

Vegter Papyrus June 29, 2019 at 12:58 AM So this cycle repeats. Forgiveness may be the only medication that will cure, maybe! I see that you're still using words as sharpened objects. Geniuses do that! Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 29, 2019 at 8:32 AM Forgiveness is definitely part of the cure. This an excerpt from a poem expressly about breaking the cycle; a task I am undertaking presently ;) Thank you K! xomo

Robert Lindley June 28, 2019 at 3:27 PM Wonderfully deep and finely woven in depth and insight into life's adaptation to this dark world my friend.. A fav.. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 29, 2019 at 8:41 AM Thank you so much Robert! This stanza... I'm loving Greg's Arbitrium contests; poetry does not usually lend itself to the reuse of a poem the way other forms of expression like painting and sculpture allow. xomo
