Prompt Contest! Quoth the Raven, "Enter more!"
by: [Raven Needs A Publisher!] (7) These two lines must be in the poem!! When will I see the light? I cannot escape this place. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Light I cannot escape this place, Although I surge upward often In battle with the heave of gravity. But I cannot pierce this human lining Which holds greater than all strength. I cannot break away from flesh. I cannot escape this place, Although my mind surges forward, And strikes against the band That corrals-in ideas, And hovers atop dreams, Forbidding aspiration from flight. I cannot escape this place, Although my soul seeks its home, Transporting me nightly Through a carousel of visions. When will I see the light? Repeatedly, unendingly I ask. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
