Poetry To Me
Poetry to me(0.00 / 0 votes)
Jumbled words to entertain
Running round in circles
A holding pen within my brain
They dig a tunnel through the heart
Subliminal thoughts of metaphoric prose
An army of words bounds my hands
I’m held hostage until I compose
Adjectives, verbs, and nouns with rhyme
Just words waiting on release
Anxiously they breakout
Risking capture by the word police
If they all stay in line
And don’t jump out of place
Their goal they’ll eventually reach
A smile upon reader’s face
Then upon subtle smile
The result of my words I see
That’s what it means
Poetry to me
