Let Me Out

Like an inner child running wild Where age now tells me no An ancient beautful fame, now In an old woman's frame Like a spirit so grand Just waiting to expand Locked in it's infant cage Waiting for death to turn the page Like a butterfly snug In a cocoon getting ready The shell is crisp And wings are spreading Like expressing myself fully Raising myself with pen as pulley Breif but universal All with in the parameters of a poem Screaming "Let me out!" (A rewrite of Caties poem)

I didn't dare tackle another poet's poem but you did well. I was surprised that my poem on adultery ruffled feathers. The task was to say how we would handle the problem. Since I never had to face it, I answered as honestly as I could pertaining to myself. I would hope I would be adult enough to not act without thought. Joyce

Nice to get those words out when they are churning around inside. A poem waiting to be born finds birth when that pen does the job! Your last line is so true! Luv, Lizzie
