They Try to Box Me In

This same thoughts are echoed in so many of the older literary works such as "Irons walls do not prison make."
A box cannot contain
what lives within a mind,
I think of men who prison who stay sane by creating an invention in their mind. I think this is the story behind a gun that was made when the "planner" was freed.

Brooke, There will be no holding that little guy back. :) Love the picture and of course, the poem. "no boundaries exist to stop the likes of me" - that should be the mantra for us all.

No one can box in a mind or imagination. As always you express the sentiment so well. It is so well written and is to follow that it is a joy to read.

I remember building forts and then draping blankets over them to be in total darkness. Great use of comparisons in the endless sea and the imagination. Nicely done.

Very nice, and for the most part very true. Nothing can box an active mind, and imagination in except the person themselves if they chose to lock themselves in. Great poem.

Very nice easy flowing rhymes. I think your opening relates to all readers and pulls them in. Is it not amazing when we are little we love to play in a box but the older we get the less we can stand them. Grammar is my box. I just can't stay within that box.

I can not imagine anyone "boxing in" the inimitable Mr. Sawyer.
Such an uplifting, optimistic poem.
I am forever in envy of how easily and gracefully you rhyme, Brooke. I am forever grateful to your father for reading to you as child.
Hugs, d

What a lovely thing to say, Diane. Thank you so very much :-) Have you seen any of the Prank It Forward videos on the net? It is one of Andy's projects. I'm so proud of him. :-) Brooke

Dear Brooke - a great poem with more life lessons which makes this an empowering piece as well. On a side note I remember building forts with the boxes with my kids. Where has time flown too??? Yikes I'm feeling old - LOL
Great writing and smiles for me - perfect all around.
Thanks for sharing it.

Sawyer on TV? A most enjoyable tale of not wanting to be boxed in. Freedom is his name - Sawyer plays his game. Hide and seek, Mum does peek - freedom left for Fort Knox because he's a golden boy! LOL.
