Arthur Vaso Poet Free verse

Four Walls

Four walls


Stuck inside these four walls
The sky
The earth
The east
The west

Where does one run
Where does one hide
Four walls inside my head
Imprisoned by butterfly wings

Four hours and still counting
Four undertakers, to take me home
Freed from my imagined room
Forewarned robbens' on islands’ understood

Flowers sprout as rain drops fall
Over sunny skies these four walls are tall
Universal is the prison
Ruined when the four walls fly in the sky

Sara Kendrick February 27, 2016 at 11:11 AM That would be one for the psychologist to figure out or is that agoraphobia..Enjoyed reading your work that makes one think..Thanks for the visit to my page..Sara Arthur Vaso February 27, 2016 at 5:44 PM You are most welcome Sara!

Charmaine Chircop February 27, 2016 at 9:49 AM Is the only time the prison is ruined when this poet dies.. Is that the only time He is freed from death to another death ? . Do those butterfly wings keep him from death ? An abstract poem that intrigues me to become Agent Sherlocka and investigate : ). You twisted my mind with this write, but its these kind of writes that make me wanna become nosy and reveal more . Arthur Vaso February 27, 2016 at 5:43 PM My twisted mind might take a few Sherlocka's in white coats!

Daniel Turner February 24, 2016 at 3:50 PM I like the direction you went with the four walls, Arthur. Imaginary walls are the hardest ones to escape from or get over. There is no place to hide,( from one's self?) Really like the angle. Arthur Vaso February 25, 2016 at 8:55 PM Thank you Daniel
