On October 25, 2023, P.T. Wyant posted at ptwyant.com a Wednesday Words prompt involving a broken hinge, wildflowers, and two months.
This poem was the result…
It’s been two months
Perhaps longer than that
Wildflowers grow around the broken hinge
Where it was dumped upon the ground
A piece of a shattered door
Once shut and locked
Busted from the efforts to escape
When it was a barrier to freedom
Trapping the inhabitant within
Someone not meant to be caged
The strength of their desire to flee
Exceeded the solid wood in the way
Let alone the poor hinge
It wasn’t the hinge’s fault
It was simply part of a door
A door others shut and locked
Leaving the prisoner to their fate
The only part their captors left was the door
All the captive had left to blame
All they could batter themselves against
They were the one in the way
They were the one broken
In a desperate attempt at flight
An angry assault upon an obstacle
They scattered wildflowers in their wake
Even if the flowers took a while to grow
Allowing new life to thrive
In the aftermath of angry destruction.
