Rooting 8 To 5

In the middle of a dense fog night Imaginary roots were cut down by a lady Escaping from mental dungeon that dragged in despair Feeling like a bird that escaped from prison Tasting the freedom sensed when burdens are thrown For Rooting 8 To 5 Poetry Contest Sponsored by Nette Onclaud Fourth Place January 4, 2017 Checked with How Many Syllables Count

I like the dark mystery here. The title of the poem is the contest name. Would you want to change this? I think this would win! Cheers!

I had an elderly lady neighbor who is gone now, who spent every day sitting in her front yard pulling weeds. She didn't have that many weeds! I think she was getting rid of the weeds of her mind. I really like your poem.
