Notes About The Poem

For Ink Empresses Prisoner of Poetry Contest written 3/25/25

Prisoner of Poetry

I am a purple prisoner of poetry
For when I can’t write woe is me

Darkens my sky the flowetry
Enriches my life the soul of me

Some do drugs roll with me
I just do hugs go with me

Grasping the love of a sheet
Of paper, pen and ink is peace

Muse is a turquoise tool guides me
Ideas are precious jewels inside me

It’s an affliction of discovery
A kind of mission red recovery

Righting what is wrong you see
Writing poems sonnets songs to sing

Some are like the ivory breeze
Others crash into onyx dead sea

One hopes to be indigo inspiring
To tickle brain cells cherry firing

To leave readers denim desiring 
Or perhaps even enjoying inquiring 

In the jail of a black bipolar mind 
Where hell is back and forth in time

Words can be a key or lemon lock in crime
Can be of forms free or form that rhymes

Needing readers to read gives me a high
Hoping that you see a message from divine
