Prison Poem by April Braithwaite
Prison
Dripping, dripping, dripping
Hardly ever sitting
Eyes glued to the bars
That makes up their whole world
Waiting for the key
To let them feel free
That's a look into the life of a prisoner
To whom we will never know
Since there is no window
Into the mind of autism.
A beautifully crafted write about autism. It is painful to read yet it enlightens our minds regarding autism.

Dripping, dripping, dripping Hardly ever sitting Eyes glued to the bars That makes up their whole world Waiting for the key To let them feel free -The harsh realities of a prisoner's life is brilliantly depicted in your poem..I liked it so much that reminded me of my own poem, 'A Prisoner's Confession'...you have articulated it in different tone, in a very precise and subtle way, a poignant write..Many congratulations..10
