Notes About The Poem

Example- for my current contest

I Want To Fly

Being there as the clouds drift by 
Seeing all the colors in the sky
Makes me want to try to fly
Sakes, if birds can do it, why can't I?

Trying can't be hard at all
Flying's got to be my call 
After all, I was a pilot for years 
(Laughter)- If only I had Dumbo's ears
