Vagabond
“A truly strong person does not need the approval of others any more than a lion needs the approval of sheep.” (quote by Miyamoto Musashi, author of Vagabond, a Japanese historical fiction manga series based on the life of legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi and his journey of self-discovery as he seeks to perfect his swordsmanship and achieve a higher understanding of the world.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They're here for just a short time
Long enough to recite their lines
~Poetic Vagabonds~
Out to hitch a ride
From the rhyme as it passes by
~Poetic Vagabonds~
Hopping into the front seat
Before the poem pulls out to leave
~Poetic Vagabonds~
Weaving along roads of rhyme
Without regard for the passage of time
~Poetic Vagabonds~
They go unheeded as the stream
Without a care, it would seem
~Poetic Vagabonds~
Writing with affection alliteratively
Using metaphors and similes creatively
~Poetic Vagabonds~
Willing to let the world go by,
With valor in their kindling eye
~Poetic Vagabonds~
Living with joy supreme, with heart sublime,
Restless are they, these sojourners of time
~Poetic Vagabonds~
Between the lines you will read
What could be their basic need
~Poetic Vagabonds~
Do treat these poets gently
Such a fragile entity
~Poetic Vagabonds~
