This was the picture I posted yesterday while filling in for laurasalas on 15 Words or Less Photopoetry. What does this make you think of? Where do you think the keys are for all those locks? Does it make you smile?
Here are the poems people wrote as a result.
SHACKLED
I’m all locked up,
I don’t know why…
Better to ponder,
than sit and cry…
– Fred Higgins
PICKLOCK’S FINAL EXAM
From experience

the key to
most locks
is not
using a key.

In this room
feeling locked up
With no key
there’s no escape

“They’re having a party.
Can I go?
Oh, don’t be so dramatic.
Just say no.”

Key?
one canoe
you
and
six beers.

Passages
In and out.
Or not out?
Who comes?
Who doesn’t go?
Scattered.
– Becky Levine
My brain
Without coffee
Locked
In disarray

He searched for the key to her heart
Like so many others before him

15 words, all locked up
A Monument to Closure
Want an ending?
To zip it up,
throw away the key?
Add yours,
walk away.
Re: 15 words, all locked up
I like this a lot!

Look deeper,
Maybe! Maybe not!
