HOW DO YOU ESCAPE
DO YOU MEDITATE
DO YOU LIKE TO READ
WHAT IS IT YOU NEED
DO YOU WATCH MOVIES
OR MAYBE TV
DOES MUSIC WORK FOR YOU
WHAT ELSE DO YOU DO
WHAT ARE WE ESCAPING FROM
IS REAL LIFE SO HUM DRUM
WHY ARE WE SO UNAWARE
WE MISS MOMENTS HERE AND THERE
ESCAPING SEEMS THE THING TO DO
THINK ABOUT WHY THAT IS TRUE
Author's Notes/Comments:
SAW A WRITERS DIGEST POETRY PROMPT TO WRITE AN ESCAPE POEM. THIS IS WHAT CAME TO MIND. SEEMS WE ALL ESCAPE IN DIFFERENT WAYS BUT ALL OF US FEEL THE NEED TO DO IT. I KNOW SOME USE DRUGS OR ALCOHOL BUT CHOSE TO LEAVE THAT OUT OF MY POEM...THE UNDERLYING QUESTION IS WHY WE ALL SEEM TO HAVE THE NEED TO ESCAPE IN SOME WAY EVERYDAY...WEIRD PHENOMENON...WORTH EXPLORING.
