Apostrophic Wings



Welcome to the wild fields of poetry,
capture fresh blooms of popularity
as they unfurl their grammatical scent;
fragments of colourful words plough comments
into history's delicious descent,
errors are thrown across the wind's beauty.

Minds shimmer devices behind closed eyes,
words find delicate praise with open sighs,
there is no room for honesty's swift flight,
creativity hangs in the limelight
while ignorance hovers over insight,
imagination rips off its disguise.

Information's highway spills sycophants
throughout metrical stanzas that confront,
apostrophic wings spread opinions
as formed verse is devoured within options,
the freedom of speech saturates actions,
thoughts gather dreams in ancient pools; stagnant.
