This was the picture I posted yesterday while filling in for [info]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
one finds that
the key to
most locks
is not
using a key.

LOCKED UP

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

– Linda Bozzo

Lockdown!

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

– Cindyb

 

First Warm Day of Spring

Lock a year
19 years
all clicked free
Key?
one canoe
you
and
six beers.

– Pat Schmatz

 

Passages

In and out.
Or not out?
Who comes?
Who doesn’t go?
Scattered.

– Becky Levine

My brain
Without coffee
Locked
In disarray

– Jeannine Garsee

Key to Her Heart

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

– Rick Wainright
