Nancy Kaufman Poet Light Verse

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.

Sotto Poet July 9, 2023 at 8:03 PM 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! Nancy Kaufman July 10, 2023 at 10:57 AM Hi Sotto, I actually viewed as a wordsmith. Thanks for the visit and your gracious comments.

Ilene Bauer July 9, 2023 at 1:28 PM ha! i love this, nancy! i'm no longer a novice but i found my meter (and my metier) and i'm sticking to it! Nancy Kaufman July 9, 2023 at 2:11 PM 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.
