Verse First ~ Lock
Welcome to Verse First, where simple notions prompt amazing poems.
Today's notion?
~ Lock ~
Virginia Woolf once said, "“I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out; and I thought how it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in.”
Upon consideration, one realizes that being locked - in or out- can be literal, emotional, medical, figurative. And there are other meanings to ponder. A lock can be a fastener fitted to a door or drawer to keep it firmly closed. It can be a section of canal that can be closed to control the water level; used to raise or lower vessels that pass through it. Or a lock can be a simple strand or cluster of hair.
