Anti thesis

govern love
heart shaped box
I lock her in

Editing stage: 

Comments

she sighs like a sirens call
reaching through walls
kept prisoner
recipient echo

manna for the famished
when visions speak
she is freedom

author comment

Esker. I love this poem. If it does not include the comment/poem (and why do you always do that, btw?) It is perfect.

No verse is free for the man who wants to do a good job. - TS Eliot

its a rather simple poem
but even one that I cannot help
but to look back on and comment also

its that great joy of poetry isnt it
expression and that freedom
no matter how it is that
sometimes humanity wants
to put the poet and poetry
in tidy little boxes and make
it behave

it is not to be
passion like artist abilities
knows no boundaries

Thank You!

without your after comment.
I've said this before, it's not about rules or boxes, it's about giving the gift freely of your poetry.
If we rated in stars like the old days I would have given 5 for the poem and reduced it to one for your after comment.

cheers,
Jess
