The exercise:

Write a four line poem about: the tunnel.

Tunnels connect things and lead to places, but I suppose what makes one initially interesting is that you have to be at one end or the other. So if you refuse to go further, where does that put you?

The tunnel
A tunnel, made of red brick and circular
Leads into darkness but is dry and tall enough to stand in.
Shelter enough to sleep in, and the symbols on the walls
Don’t bother me at all.

Greg - unable to get through to the other side?

Hmm. Not sure those wall symbols wouldn't bother me, but I tend to be a generally cautious sort.
