Balveen Cheema Poet Couplet

Where Freedom Finds the Fire

Fiery Spirit


Epic tales heard from birds in golden bars
Spreading feathers they zoom up in their envisioned flight 

Animals in captivity is decried aloud
Their glued movements kill their roaring might

Potted plants are sweet and dainty
In bedded grounds they sway to fancy's delight

Rules and trite strictures murder us in strife
Freedom from bondage fires us to titanic height

Timothy Hicks April 1, 2016 at 1:54 AM I haven't read many for this contest, but I'm always delighted to see where an enigmatic phrase takes a person's muse. Interesting interpretations here ... even the potted plants are captives to the soil, just like the caged birds. I enjoyed the allusions, on this call for freedom, Balveen. Best of luck. Balveen Cheema April 1, 2016 at 4:12 AM Thanks Timothy! It's simple.
