Frogs In A Tin

Once again
I am beset
With yearnings for home
Elusive places
I may once have dwelled
Content

But such feelings of course
Can never be known
For they hatch and swirl
Involuntary within

Hammering and rattling
Like frogs in a tin

Crashing the boundaries
Helpless, trapped
Sad things confined
In the lonliest mind

I sense a sudden rattle of feelings, caught off guard from past memories, that dwell hidden out of sight till they hop out on you at awkward moments. Another great write my friend xx

I cannot say ive ever experienced frogs in a tin , however you made it easy to visualize and I swear I could hear them. It really added to the validity of the emotions through a strong visual comparison. I hope they manage to escape like the thoughts of the lonely mind. ~Rob
