Poetic License
By Franklin Price
4/1/2015

I have poetic license
To write about all things
Beautiful or ugly
Sane or ding-a-ling

Family and friends
And what I've seen around
Politics Religion
All existing sky and ground

 I tell it as I see it
Report it as my news
To be accepted or rejected
While expressing my own views

I'm not afraid to tell it
If it's something I believe
And send it out to others
To read and to receive

Not everyone will like it
I never thought they would
But if it gets them thinking
And reacting that is good

Not all writing gloom and doom
Write some of love and grace
Sometimes a little humor
To leave a smile on the reader's  face
