MIGHTY PEN



enclosed

in this four corners

with the walls

closing in

shackled feet

were groaning

in misery

my mind can run

unhindered

as my ink spilled

trapped no more.














Author's Notes/Comments: 

I was thinkin� of one who wrote while in prison.  His confinement did not deter him to let free his thoughts.  He's Dr. Jose P. Rizal, our national hero.

Turly thought-porvoking!!! The premise of not finding an outlet from day-to-day complications until finding the almighty pen is excellent. I loved the brief yet direct approach describing a type of panic with the 4 compacting walls. Well done my friend.

Yes, how true it the thought - you can be in a prison, but no one can stop the mind to travel far and wide behind the high walls. It made me stare over the ocean, thinking about thoughts, dreams, and the pen... A lovely poem! Regards Donkerman
