Michael J. Falotico Poet Couplet

Poet Sounds

by Michael J Falotico


                                        I don't want to be another flower in a pot..
                                 With no room to grow or to spread my wings or not..
                                  
                                      No need for walls to hold back my intentions..
                                  I need to feel the wind and sun with no restrictions..

                                   I can't write in a box where my vision is held down
                              I need to flourish in the garden of words and poet sounds..

Carolyn Devonshire April 27, 2011 at 12:45 PM Freedom from restrictions help us feel more comfortable, Michael. Maybe that's why free verse is becoming more appealing to me. You will never be just another flower in a pot. Such a special guy! Love, Carolyn
