A Different Meter

A very novice poet am I, a fledgling, just learning how to fly. My thoughts may climb as I flap my wings but my anchored feet to this earth still clings. I hope in time these wings won't teeter and I can soar in a different meter.

What a magnificent composition, an exquisite portrayal, Nancy! I am enamored by this, Nancy! I have transcended my amateur status and discovered my rhythmic harmony, to which I shall adhere resolutely!

Hi Sotto, I actually viewed as a wordsmith. Thanks for the visit and your gracious comments.

ilene I truly admire your ability to write a poem a day. I write some times early in the am and then see it later and regret having put it out there. I hope things are better for you then when you wrote the pits poem and always appreciate your comments.
