A Tribute To Broken Wings

I have seen a poet
with broken wings
And though she says she can't fly
She still sings

Every note, from pen to paper
Her thoughts, they express
And though some seek to pin and cage her
She sings nonetheless

Though her heart might be hurting
Someday she'll soar
Even broken wings can be healed
I've seen it happen before

Though this is many poets' shelter
She's one of the finest I've seen
And if only in my personal opinion
She deserves the title 'Poetry Queen'
