An Animal In Confinement

For every minute that she had count

The days dimmed beyond the trees

She spoke of bloomings and lily seeds

For the deer beyond was not on mount

The day forward was paramount

Above the clouds appeared gusty

The day beyond was foreseen

She could not speak of her account

Drinking from thy decayed spout

Drowning myself in the motionless vision

Escaping from this enclosure

Leaving this den with precision

Taking my steps on the clovers

The day I saw was envisioned

Just an illusion caused by overexposure

Kayla, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
