    Awesome!!!

    truly awesome and lovely.
    The idea of just pressing backspace is incredible.
    And it also shows how love is capable of forgiving and look pass errors.

I kept reading to see the climax of the piece, i was surprised to see a simple word that just got me blushing on and on. Very creative of you dear. This is the piece on needs to unwind when down. Marvelous poem, blessings to you. ;).

    When I finished reading, I looked at my keyboard and wondered if ever I will be able to write anything like this on an object that I see and use everyday. Very creatuve write, even more beautiful is the imagination and the way you have penned it. :)

    Even though you posted this in the Miscellaneous section I read it as a love poem so when I got to the end and realised it was about a keybord I had to laugh so thank you for putting a smile on face. I love how you twisted the ending of the poem to take the reader by supprise and it goes to show poems are not always about the obvious.

    Once again excellent.

    5/5

    This one is a perfect example of an Allegory, a narrative story or poem with two meanings, one literal, the other symbolic (an extended metaphor). Titled "Escape", one initially wonders what is the author's real meaning behind the odd looking title to a poem about a keyboard. A little pondering later, and you know she literally means "a near miss". A poem written humorously, personifying the writer's keyboard, it carries a dual symbolism, much deeper, the way I interpret it. Here goes my symbolic interpretation laced with equal humor, from my infinite not knowingness:

    I know
    just how to push
    your buttons.

    ^ Yes, indeed any woman who knows her hubby well, will :)

    In fact, I can
    do it with my
    eyes closed.

    ^ Sure, after years of experience, one can predictably push the right and the wrong buttons!

    I adore the
    sounds you make
    every time my
    fingers caress
    you.

    ^ Those delightful sounds are heard only if you push the right buttons on your human keyboard :) Is there a Vocaroo link Poetess?

    Without you,
    I'd have no
    words to
    utter - I'd be
    lost.

    ^ Sure, as goes the aphorism "blind as a bat", here we can say, "honey, I am as mute (speechless) as a fish (or rock), without you"

    You've shifted
    me in the right
    direction, let
    me escape and -
    you've taken me home.

    ^ Honey, you have shown me the path to find my own wisdom, by letting me be free (escape), then brought me back home again. (that must be a really caring hunny!)

    You've given me
    space when I needed
    it and for this
    I am grateful.

    ^ Oui! no loving hubby should ever forget that his loved one needs her "own space", don't ever try to crowd their liberty, or else you may be hit with a "reject (=I hate you)" button! Lucky the keyboard designers, have not installed this one yet.

    I know that
    sometimes
    I've made
    mistakes,

    ^How noble to admit that, who does not?

    but with you
    my dear keyboard...
    that can easily be
    fixed just by pressing
    backspace.

    ^ Indeed, but when the keyboard is a real person in your life (love/hubby), you have to really push the right buttons, to fix them! Or else you may risk "deletion" someday!

    Whoosh! Never thought that a simple keyboard can be transformed into a real life allegory! No F8 or F10 (reset operating system) needed here, if one can learn from the poetess's wise use of the "Escape" button, before risking "deletion", by the "backspace" key. Kudos, Poetess for this crafty one. You certainly deserve a front page here! For your subtle but masterful art in creating this beauty from your "keyboard" and your loving and understanding hubby!
