(Bud, thank you for sharing the images and giving me a home to write poetry each day. For the rest of the poets who took part, thank you for sharing your words here when you could and for any feedback you may have left for me. — Kevin)
I’m forever letting my tongue dance
over phrases
and even while the silent world ignores me,
I continue on with my “inside” compositions,
scribbling alone in the dark corner of my mind,
turning ideas over like compost as I wait
for the flowers to bloom.
I’ve come to the realization that not everyone hears
the words as I hear them,
nor do they dance to the same rhythm,
and so,
what begins as a conversation among many
often ends as a monologue of one.
writing each day in a cage
breaking through & free with each word
the corridor awaits me to continue
yet I feel lost again
not sure which door to try
of if I even have the key
but I do see an exit ahead
out of this cage
and into the light!

I’ve been SO enjoying your blooming flowers!
Thanks!
Your thoughts
echoed on the
surrounding walls
institutionalised
by choice
you claimed.
You spat distaste
and I only gave love
when the time was right
not during daylight savings.
I wanted and waited
like the new gatekeeper of hell
but you didn’t come,
you, like everyone,
had seen the light
writing each day in a cage
breaking through & free with each word
the corridor awaits me to continue
yet I feel lost again
not sure which door to try
of if I even have the key
but I do see an exit ahead
out of this cage
and into the light!
