All Comments on 'House Arrest'

I think it would be even more cogent without the "living on" line and you could use "place" instead of the first "home" to avoid the repeat of the word "home". (unless that was deliberate?)

I think you speak for so many women who cannot find the voice to shout out, yet keep the words confined and feel they are alone. Many are imprisoned in the life they thought would be 'perfect'. You spoke for them.

i felt this way three days ago.

I have felt this way exactly, more than once. Great poem!

you write poetry as well as butta stories.

this is an excellent show of emotion and it's definitely felt within your beautiful words. very good use of metaphor and i like that apple bucket line.

Thank you for the best read of the day!

You really did this justice,

you captured those emotions

beautifully and skillfully turned

them into a wonderful piece of writing.

Excellent work!

Thanks

I feel the exact same way. Beautiful, Scarlett. Thank you. :)

Yawn. Sometimes prison is unrealistic satisfaction with less than good performance.
