Chain-Link Fences

Chain-link fences push all away, why so?

Chain-link Fences

Chain-link fences, surrounding houses

I wonder as my feet slap against the pavement, why so?

An invitation to robberies; come try me!

Or maybe a built up chain of their past, pushing away all visitors.

A crafty contraption, to catch the ankles of climbing curious children.

To look through the world within the confines of a distorted view? Hidden away from reality.

I wonder?

Please review.
And also felt like sharing that I took this picture to go with the poem :)

Hmmm, it makes you wonder doesn't it. Very creative conclusions here with this chainlink imagery. People do see their "reality" from the side of the fence they look through don't they. You offer an interesting peek from both sides of the fence.

Excellent capture of the dew drops on the fence! A fellow photographer?

What a great poem of pondering - they are rather disgusting and foreboding, aren't they?
