A chapter in the book Wonder

Freedom

by Michelle D. Carr

Louie Lion paced in a cage.

He feels his rage.

Twelve by ten feet,

on hard concrete.

 

Longed to run and play in freedom

in his kingdom.

Twelve by ten feet

no friends to meet.

 

Rescued and released one bright day

to run and play.

Twelve by ten feet

he must repeat.




Minute Poetry Contest contest entry


This is based on the true story of a lion who was caged since birth and was released years later into a protective area where he could run and roam over many acres. Instead, he paced a piece of land which was the exact measurement of his former cage. Release from the cage was not complete freedom.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
