I’ll fully admit that I’m taking the easier way out with my Write It, Girl post today. The freedom to write anything and link up has encouraged me to share this. I’ve also been participating in Allume’s 31 Days to #BetterWriter series. I just completed my day 8 assignment. (Yes, they’re on day 11. Shhhh!)
The assignment was poetry, a genre I haven’t done in a good 15 years or so, since high school. Write a poem about any topic of your choice, unbogged from all grammatical worries.

Trapped
In my mind, locked away
Buried in heart, hidden in soul
Words, thoughts, ideas
Tangents from here
Lessons from there
Sheer brilliance! at least to me
What’s the point of thinking if thoughts stay bottled up inside?
Imaginary label: “do not disturb”
“Contents under pressure”
Yet one nudge, one poke
The vessel may shatter
Why wait for special occasion?
Take advantage of full flavour, aroma, effect
Best used before expiration date
In its prime
Ideas, thoughts, words
Clawed from heart, found in soul
Given life with pen to paper, fingers to keys
Free
