Freedom

At a recent PDP session with Cathy Grindrod I resolved to write more poems, so here’s one that came to me in Sainsbury’s car park recently.

I can’t remember when

The invisibility cloak went round us

The time the line was drawn

And I was to stay inside.

 

I think the shutting off was

Quick, humane

I never slipped the trap

Enough to feel it bite.

 

Now I jump the circle

You try to draw me back, but

The taste of freedom is stronger

Than anything you can give me.

      Ahhh. How do I sign up without signing up for BlogSpot? I like your current post a lot. I would love to go to Shanghai or whatever it’s called at the moment!
