What do you see # 23 – 30th March, 2020
Another very topical prompt from Sadje this week…

Run Free
You can run but you can’t hide
There are only a certain amount of words
Sooner or later, you will reach the end
How many books can you read?
Before you want to shred the pages
Open the window, let the pieces
Be caught by the wind
Watch them fly free
Counting down the days
Until you catch them, like a lost balloon
Free from the four walls
that held you in lockdown…
What a very apt response!

Well done, Anita. My Kindle protects the books or I would certainly love to let them fly free.
