I like how short this is, it has a great flow to it and a very subtle rhyme. I can definitely relate to this sometimes lines just get in the way. I can imagine it being published somewhere not using the lines kind of letting the words fall where ever you want them too. Keep up the good work! :)

Amen to what the first person said. I won't die from writing on the lines, but I prefer boxes and circles and sometimes I write in that space between the lines. Lol. On school work I write all over the whole paper. Front, back, sides, all that good stuff. Lol. That's what math spirals are for. I had one in sixth grade and I completely filled up the back writing short stories in all different directions. I must have a history of not paying attention. (Oops?) Nice poem. It makes me happy to know there are people on this site who aren't confined behind bars. Horizontal bars, lol. PEACE!

Short, but to the point. I enjoyed your line breaks most of all - they seem to emphasis the subject of the poem! Good write,

gold against the soul

I like this a lot. I can relate... I don't mind writing over the lines, but I think better when I write upside down, or sideways, or swirling the letters around in a circle. This was well written and I like the idea. Great job and keep writing!
