THE BECKONING

Through the crack they peek

To see the other side

Maybe the taste of freedom

Behind bars from the inside.

Or through the crack you peek,

A lady undressing inside;

You know you're not to watch

As your desire starts to rise.

Or through the crack one peeks

Because it's there open to view

To satisfy one's curiosity

A craving for what's new.

I like this a lot ^^ Curiosity indeed is ingrained in all of us. And what makes this poem so effective are the examples you have chosen and the medium is through a crack. The tone of this poem is what impressed me, It changes a little after each example. And yes whether many admit or not, we do like to take a peek at some point or the other a*s jesserose mentioned in her review below (sorry couldn't help but sneak a peek at what was written below XD ) Thank you for sharing ^^

Hi Andrew. This is such a strong proclamation of a human frailty we all suffer . . . curiosity. Loved how you have encompassed such a broad range of examples and packaged them all together into a stupendous write!!! loved this, alf
