From the War Zone






Little Acts of Sedition

Little acts of sedition
are my sanity
or spawned perhaps
by my insanity

Little acts go unnoticed
I flush with excitement
a way to be about danger
not the one waiting

I need the warmth 
running through my veins
from playing little games
harmless I promise

Little acts of sedition
living in a war zone
no chance of escape
no way out

  2. Wow! This is so very strong, Willow, overwhelmingly so actually. Here's to those little acts of sedition.

  3. This is stunning, Willow. I have never heard of this before (acts of sedition) but you present it well. Having control in a life where you don't have any is something to think about.

  4. I like the ideas in this poem very much - I wonder if you could tighten it up a little? keep the first and last stanzas but harden-up the middle? just a suggestion

    Your last stanza speaks volumes.

  6. "Acts of sedition" I haven't been near the idea or something similar since the 'history of revolution 101.' I like this.
