Touching expiation and soliloquy of a once hardened criminal kept in a cell wonderfully portrayed. A well deserved poem of the day. Congrats.

An insightful portrayal of life in prison nicely embellished with poetic rhyme and rhythm. Thanks for sharing, Neil.

Oh sad poem, Come out of the cell that is of your own creation and face the outcome it may be ugly in the beginning but later all will be well

The dark shines fear on the hardest criminals, Sleeping in fits and starts a truth in actuals, Crying at 3am wishing to just be safely home, We tire of being isolated and sovery alone, guilt and loneliness, isolation. very fine poem. tony

Cell life with discussions on crimes no love and care all long for at dinner time, one is indeed destined to spend all life as locked in a box in this world a pity all feel about reaading this Poem. Congrats to the Poet for the selection of poem as Member Poem of the Day by PH!

Powerful poem...that conveys the sheer wretchedness of the prison experience. With this in mind, I wholeheartedly recommend ' The Ballad of Reading Gaol' by Oscar Wilde. Anyway, I digress... congratulations Nell. It's definitely a 10 from me! !

Interesting perspective. Seems like you're in a bad place. Yet, somehow this place was an ideal place for a great write. Thanks for sharing. Also, congrats on the poem being chosen as 'POD'. Well deserved.

In prison or in lonely hours one is forced to contemplate, comes face to face with stark ugly realities of life. Very vivid sketch of some one going through soul searching. Congratulations.
