I Fell Headlong Into a Poem
I fell headlong into a poem
And was immediately swept away
As words passed by on paddle boats
They pulled me in their wake
The sweet dew of sonnets glistened on the shore
Lined with allegory trees
Dripping with fruit of poetic glaze
As a rhythmic breeze rustles through the leaves
There was an ode of maidens in a field
Cultivating the finest of verses
With colors of yellows, pinks, blues, and reds
From amongst the rows of stanzas
The cool lapping of the waves
Brought the imagery to its peak
As the metaphoric stream I floated down
Opened up into a sea of dreams
I fell headlong into a poem
And was immediately swept away...
