Written by Jacob Ibrag

She walked a hundred miles

only to realize that life is all but

a strut. Noticing a lone cloud in

the charcoal sky, she stopped and

slowly laid on the earth. ‘Who

did you run away from? Which

bridges have you burned?’

    Thoughtful, though sad, pic reflects the melancholy.

    Very thoughtful. Bridges we may have burnt unknowingly, never realizing when we were running away from them.

    I adore the line ‘only to realise that life is all but a strut’. It left such a beautiful image.

        You’re very welcome.
        Would you, by an chance, be interested in guest posting in a poetry based, celebration thing I’m doing.
        From the 11th to the 30th April I’m putting up guest posts by poets about how they got into poetry, what it means to them and who inspires them.
