Contained, a crumbling shell
I yearn for escape
Not here to dwell.
Entering every day
Scratched uniforms, hard hands
What's to be my way?
Pain swells, febrile cries.
Stays sweet sleep
when I close my eyes.
Grating birdsong heralds dawn
Tears with gruel
For carrying on
Daily pills, nodding head
Docile smiles
And palmed instead
My tiny friends, their siren call
The time now
A choice? no choice at all
beeps blending, a continual whine.
losing grip
on this tawdry time
I love the rhythm to this poem and your word choice is wonderful. The imagery was a little weak, but you made up with creating feelings and sounds instead. Thank you for sharing. :)
Just wondering, where do I find the information for each challenge?

Thank you! Imagery evoked by the poem itself or iimagery as in images used in the poem?
If images that was a tough one, you have to do original artwork or photos for each one and I had to run around the house taking photos of different things to try and get something relevant. The pills are chewing gum lol!
If imagery evoked by the poem then I shall try harder on my next one :-)
If you follow @prufarchy you will see on their page the poetry slam notice :-) the terms for this one are in the winners announcement for poetry slam 1

Lol! Silly me, I feel like a bit of a doofus. Yes the imagery is intentionally sparse in this one (obvs I would say that:-)). In fact its sparse in a lot of my writing! Thank you for commenting, its nice not to feel I am blowing in the wind on steemit!
