Poetic Asides Prompt--Escape

Escape

E xiting with

S omeone hot on your tail

C areful planning

A nd patience

P erfecting the route

E mbracing the moment

Anguish
Unbearable
Can’t take it anymore
There’s got to be something better
Escape

A Sweeter Life

Like a prisoner

digging a tunnel

with only a spoon,

I carefully plot time out.

Alaska?

Hawaii?

Motel down the street?

At last I make my escape,

pamper myself

enjoy the moment.

I return to a sweeter life.
