Donna Roberts Poet Personification

Artwork

I stand erect with outstretched hand
 Representing liberty,  for many,  a foreign land
 My fire dances an incessant jubilant glow
 Pungent salts mixed with glassy sand
 Linger on my tasting lips whilst serenading patina ed Ears
 I Separate tyranny from average men's fears

 Some may say I am mute, But I spoke in 1944,  
 Did you hear my visceral  ROAR?
 Blink, blink, blink "VICTORY"
 I delivered a delightful message highlight
 Dripped across the star spangled banner ed twilight

 Before you come to visit me, not shoes but
 eyes you should polish quite Diligently
 "Do you see the iron ore disjointed?"  
 My right foot is  LIFTED and FREE

 With 35 expansive eyes inserted upon 7 spiked tiers
 I've winked and blinked countless times over the many years
 I monitor 7 continents and mighty oceans vast 
 Proclaiming Enlightened Liberty shall Last for all the bold who pass 

 Vessel sails chatter resoundingly as they advance in the glorious wind
 Crescent waves rock me a lullaby but pierce my eyes, producing cataracts 
 Stars sprinkle their luminous dust like Epsom salt enveloping weary bones 
 Mighty storms frigidly wash a dusty old body as lightening shocks my heart
               I accept their infinite, whispered gratitude 
 For I am graciously placed in this longitude and latitude
