The Poetry Express

Thundering beats my heart along

As hooves upon the tundra wide
I rejoice at life, Its reveal inside
Repeat echo, of tales millennia told
Heart and sinew; my desires unfold.

I channel into lines on paper!
These thoughts and feelings
Some snap into my mind,
Like an alligator'

Their bite upon my manner
Is strong, in expressive throes
I hope not too long?  And time?
What holds are upon my span?

But what I allow. As a sentient Man!
Or woman; should I think some more?
Enchanting challenging brave and raw
So not by rote, or times and plan.

Yet by diving deep; into poetry’s song.
