Solitary Confinement (3-ku)

For the "Loneliness is such a drag"  Tri-Ku" comp...
JJ

PS: surprisingly, this won the comp! I actually didn't plan to enter because my feelings on loneliness are so deep I didn't think I would be able to consolidate them into such a short poem. I can be long winded on the simplest topic, but after thinking about it, I was able to focus in on aspects of being alone that I could relate in imagery.

It's striking dystopian imagery. I hope you do well in the comp.

Thanks for commenting Daniel! I never get my hopes up in comps. Most times I don't even get honorable mention. But I do get inspirations o create, so they do serve a purpose... JJ

excellent work my friend - these three create their own atmosphere - the loneliness is palpable :-)

fantastic Ink :-)

Thanks David! Now I need a towel to wipe off the excess ink from my fingers... lol JJ

Hi Joe, and how glad I am to see that you managed to give this a go after all.  My best regards as I wish you luck in the competition!        ~~Jadey xo

luck? HA, such a great poet as I would never need luck... hahahaha.... thank you Jade! jj

3 very nicely written Hi ku. I can feel the loneliness in your words.

Thanks for commenting DP! The more consumed I become by a feeling, the better the poetry I write. It's a feeling I have been familiar with for a very long time... JJ

This is so deeply sad. Felt it all the way through....
