I have the understanding that I am stiff and confined into a space to small to let in light. It gives the impression of a fight to reclaim that which makes you shine. And you did in the end find a way to shine.

However, I did stumble a bit as I read through the piece aloud.

Hello, anonymous,

Beautiful entry for the
Stacked 5-7-5 writing prompt contest. Good syllable count and connection between lines. It flows well. The metaphor and imagery is very good. I like the spiritual topic.

My favorite stanza:
Now on fertile ground,
a runner bean flourishing,
I've outstripped my past.

You have meet the requirements of this contest: Write a poem that has multiple stanzas. Each stanza is 5-7-5.

Best of luck in the Stacked 5-7-5 writing prompt contest.

There is much pain and emotion in these words as we are crushed by verbal or physical abuse in a relationship and the fight begins to have some self worth and here you succeeded as the seed was sewn and it blossomed, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

A very well-written stacked 5-7-5 poem about a future we can see for ourselves how we can once again flourish when we break through the hard surface placed around us to keep us from growing.

"In His safe arbour,,
'midst a forever of friendship,
each shoot can stand tall,"

I love that part right there. It's so deep, yet comes across as light. When I read that, I think of all the space God gives us to grow, and yet He is there, guiding us in the direction of the sun. So we can stand tall, strong, etc. Your whole 5-7-5 is very good, and I liked it a lot.
I think you have a good chance in the contest!

Wow - that's a lot of discipline and finger counting... and it is well done. A poem that starts out with little hope, ends up triumphing in the end. Great job with this stacked poem!
