The Greatest Question Of All: To Build A Fence Or Not

The poem about fences: Paper Poetry Prompt#6

The birds think fences are stupid. Photo and bad coloring by the author.

Once I built a fence
to keep pretense
lock them outside
hide within

unexposed
bare and light
unhindered
peace and delight

then came ghosts
breaking defense
slow tapping
peripheries of mind

it makes no sense
to build a fence
when all that you run from
comes from within
