An Ode To Poetry

What is poetry to me

A chance and opportunity

To break out and break free

From the gilded cage

Imprisoning me

To dream of stars

And cosmic themes

To pontificate on nature

And the wonder it gives

To rant to rage about social things

And make a stand environmentally

To speak of love straight from the heart

To weave words of spiritual sparks

To create verses hoping to paint a masterpiece

This is what poetry means to me.
