    Poem Commentary

    From the perspective of a prisoner just released..... Sorry I was bored.

    Release

     I sigh in happiness,
    Released from my cell.
    No more stale air
    Full of prisoner's cries.
    A breeze tickles my cheek
    Saying hello.
    I dig my toes into
    Mother Earth
    Savoring the warmth of the sun
    Thinking back to my
    Damp, cold cell.
    Green grass beneath my feet
    Blue sky keeping watch over me.
    I feel peaceful
    My pleas for release answered.
    I have a second chance
    And I'm not going to throw it away.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
