"Caged" (a poem)

Written in response to a prompt from Poetic Bloomings.  Walt and Marie Elena invite us to talk about our fears...


 

~ Caged ~


A
Brutal psychologist
Placed me once

Among
Those animal-like
People who cannot

Survive
Outside of
Their natural habitat.

For
Ten plus
Years now I’ve

Denied
Extinction, sustaining
Myself with memories,

Overcoming
Fear each
Time I venture

Out
The door
Of my cage.




Live for the Love of it,
The Happy Amateur
