True, Enigmatic - especially if you live near the prison!

Although I am often distracted by the comtemporary themes of your sonnets..
tonyzonit, I can say in all sincerety that I am awed more and more by the skill of your craft in the writing of them. BRAVO! I am catching up (trying to) on my reading...EVERYTHING here is good!

Tony
I don't mind (justly) convicted murderers on death row, finding freedom in their own minds - as long as they don't "find" physical freedom!

Hi ST - oh, well good luck. Start digging that mental tunnel to freedom!!

Nice thoughts. . .
Tony. Freedom is largely a product of our mindset—and it's something I want a piece of!

Hi Masky - it's amazing the things you can realise just by thinking hard
about them. It often turns your preconceptions on their head! Thanks!!

Good evening, Chris - thanks! Are you well-rested now?

I'm just about managing - it's ok now that I type and move my wrist more
carefully, thanks Mary. I've asked for a different kind of static marble mouse and wrist support at work, and I'll get something similar for home use as well, which might mean I can still use the keyboard several hours a day without aches and pains. PS: I like a good cuppa - green tea is what i usually drink. What kinda cuppa do you like-a?!!

Tony a cuppa tea
I never watched the X Files, either, so don't ask me.  The concept you wrote about was very intriguing indeed.  How're the wrists doing?

Thanks, Troosha - talking of gripping, I don't think I used the word 'grip'
in my rhyming scheme in the end, even though I expected I would... The poem itself decides...

Mary - good evening. A nice cup of coffee or tea?
The skies have eyes! Yes, it's interesting to see what people make of this one. If there's anything that sums it up, it's starting with the truth being in our mind, and ending up with the old X Files idea that the truth's out there! Have I remembered that right - I didn't actually watch the series...

Tony
Sometimes we see the truth we want or need to see.  Wonderfully done - some very gripping lines.

Tony - Stopped in for a read while the kettle boils.........
Very nice!  The eyes of truth are everywhere from big to small; from prisoners to those of whom are free; from the very old and the very young, all one has to do is open their eyes and read realities staring back at thee.  Well done.  Love it!
