Thoughts of Jailbreak

The alluring morning mail Blue cover and red letters Those smiling peacock feathers Alas, I'm fettered Red breasted Robins ruffle My waters, psychic scuffle Defiant windows won't shut My ripples seek shores The lark is somewhat restless Greed glistens in the diamonds Of my restive lattices The mail overwhelmed No, no more fetters today Some way I have to make hay Lovely mails in golden braids Poems in fountain I have to scale the high wall The surge is growing quite tall There has to be a jail break Embrace the red breast _______________________________________ 1/11/2016

Thank you for your appreciation of the metaphors ...it is a purely metaphorical poem ... peacock feathers are smiling , but the poet is too fettered to enjoy ...
