Fence

Rating: 5.0


i know some fences
one works to keep you away
another lures you
stealing your moral high ground
while steeling your bank account

(cont.) 2 - you are using Poetic License to mean strengthen as steel is a strong metal. i think this is the 'fence' you mean who lures you from a morally 'correct' path: " 4 a: a receiver of stolen goods b: a place where stolen goods are bought" to MyPoemList, despite its masked message. bri :)

Despite? ? And yep...from your note '4' just above, you found me out. Guilty as charged. Thanks, Bri. Thanks for reading.

Religious fences quickly came to my mind; it is not there but it is there, and all decided by the fence keepers or builders. Lots to think about in this brilliant write. Thanks Mj.

Indeed, Loke! And some of the unseen fences can be the most formidable.

I love me a MJ Lemon poem- -one a day is sure to keep the doctor away as well as stultification of the mind. You always give us multi-layered food for thought, my friend. Then there's this oddball fan of yours who simply has to go and jump the fence... You are a million star poet and this is a mega-star poem- - 10++++++++++

Wow....thank you, Susan. But look out, all is clear as long as the fence is arachnid free! Happy jumping! Thanks again.
