Day 137 - Blog-o-sphere

 BLOG-O-SPHERE


Prompt - Blog-o-sphere : Visit your favourite blog or your feedreader and craft a story, journal 

entry, or poem based on the latest blog post you read.


Writing is the only true freedom

Says the man hanging from sheets

It's the art we can all create

It's not just for the elites

But you need to be hitting the streets

A life behind bars is no place to create

As Oscar would surely agree

His muse never made it to Reading

His body had need to be free

His mind locked away by that key

But knowledge brings freedom

Of it's own special kind

Knowledge is fuel

If creatively inclined

Words are the keys to the mind
