20 Minutes Poem by Kel Smith

20 Minutes

Rating: 4.0


'Ding dong ding, '
an ascending triad rings out.
The door closes.

A disconcerting stare.
A feeble mind.
Paralyzed in a moment.

The warmth of a hand
never so cold, stone-hearted,
unfeeling.

Speak.
Scream.
Soundless.

A momentary prison,
haunting and cruel.
Freed at last.

I'm with Greenwolfe, I don't really understand this although I can think of a few horrific stories that I heard coming out of Vancouver. I have sisters living on the Island so I am always looking for news from out there. If you have ever been out Ontario way, you may be interested in some of mine. Adeline

Again, I have to admit my stupidity before the world, but I have no idea what this means and because the poem doesn't tell me, I simply can't make any comment. GW62
