Notes About The Poem

Zestful

Your inner colors,  make your life more active, passionate, and zestful. By Poet

                        Zenith of zeal and zonary of zealousness
            It left me feeling as if I'd been enchanted.
In a man's aloof psyche lies preciousness.
Swiftly glide, by wide sea or sky, undaunted.
                        Hinder your hope zealous even if dreams die.
A bird with its pennons clipped can't fly.
Life is a bleak, frozen plain in the sway.
      If you stayed awake with a zing and a zap
            Put glory aside and pound it off with a rap.
                        Frost might have seen no spring in this gap.
Adopt each day with zeal and dreadlessness.
            Feel sway all the way up till skies are slanted.
      At its core, any demise should be given away.
            Consider heeding this and reaching the cap.
