Empty metal cages tumbling
through florescent coffin empires.
Today; I'll walk outside again.

Well I'm going to London today for the first time... So the tube sounds awesome... But frankly I can see why people sound sick of it....

This was a really refreshing read. Very much a sense of renewal. I loved it.

There is a lot more behind this then just your awesome imagery. Can speak to the reader on an own personal level, and be interpreted many ways. Love the meaning in this one.

I love the picture, and you did a great job packing a whole lot into 13 words. Best of luck in the contest.

It's a clean cut poem that just speaks volumes.
It is the last line that completely makes the poem, I think.
It is the crescendo, and the last word is the retarding.
"Empty metal cages tumbling" could be the
guided cage of society? It's loud voices that
uses diffraction to be heard.
"through florescent coffin empires"
restating the see through death of
society and their views.
"Today; I think I'll walk again."
Very, very well written.
The climax of epiphanies. -

Well why thank you... retarding? well I hope not That would be a waste adsaige

It means after the climax it trails off.
