Escape
by Joe CramerYou make no effort
To share your love,
Who you are
Or even what you want.
You say so little
And do even less.
I am left gasping for air,
So instead I wait for the day
That I can
Escape. 11/12/2007 Posted on 11/12/2007

| Posted by Laurie Blum on 11/13/07 at 12:53 AM This conveys such a sense of melancholy. I also like the right margin...it took me a second to see the poem over there. |
| Posted by Alison McKenzie on 11/13/07 at 05:57 AM It is escaping, after so much time has passed, isn't it? Dang. No wonder it's difficult. |
| Posted by Sandy M. Humphrey on 11/13/07 at 07:08 PM Very expressive and visual...and your words do appear to be running for the edge of the page..good effect. smh |
| Posted by A. Paige White on 11/14/07 at 04:06 PM This brought back my own "gasping for air" memories... You capture the essence of that stifling situation wonderfully in word and presentation. |
