ESCAPE, HUM, VIBRANT

For Three Word Wednesday


ESCAPE, HUM, VIBRANT

Cherish Liberty
Don’t mistake it for Freedom
There is no Escape

Hum, drone, purr, whine, buzz
The music the machines make
Slave to the rhythm

You; Vibrant colours
Vivacious, animated
I remain listless

  1. The simpleness of the writing - and I mean that in the good way - takes this to a higher level. For me, anyway.

  7. Each one was vivid and succinct with so few words...the last one had a great impact.

  9. The first two lines really gave me food for thought. But of course there's no escape. Not one most of us would choose, at any rate. Therein lies the great conundrum of life.

  11. The middle verse I relate with easily. Of course I suppose I should not be reading haikus at work. :-) Good job all around Stan!
