There was one prose poem that actually caught my eye. The name of it is "Man with Wooden Leg Escapes Prison". I really did enjoy reading that poem because it actually sounded like a poem. Even though, It had a plot within the text. I felt like it was pointless and the man probably didn't learn his lesson. I thought it was really funny how he escapes from prison and all they do is take his wooden leg and tells him that he just has to over come some obstacles for a year. I am like come on. When was this actually written because now days that punishment seems almost impossible. Not only that they decides to give him his leg back? My question is why? There was no telling what he did in the first place to even be in prison. But what caught me by surprise was in the end he does not want his leg back. In his mind, he had already formulated an other plan to escape only using one leg. That lets me know that he did not learn his lesson in the first place.
