The Poetry Thread
I'd love to read the written thoughts, emotions, and opinions of anyone who's willing to share their form of expression.
I'll begin by posting a poem I wrote several years ago while in high school.
Please feel free to add your own ..
Long ago I walked a leafy path,
within the dark, cold dawn;
my matching mood changed suddenly,
upon view of a posing fawn.
Her beauty was unimaginable,
her ears and eyes so soft;
along the path she stayed there standing,
as the darkness escaped aloft.
Like a child dining late at night,
or a Puritan enjoying song;
across the path i followed daily,
she did not at all belong.
The creature stood their standing,
as if it's purpose was for I;
for our souls knew one another,
and it cured my every sigh.
Beheld by such a marveled sight,
the word 'capure' entered mind;
for i could not begin to ponder,
my love taking off in stride.
I harnessed up my rope in hand,
its knot so tense and strong;
and threw my hopes around her neck,
her everlasting presense longed.
My darling answered with shrieks and cries,
how average she seemed when caged;
freedom was its beauty,
she flew, she sought, she grazed.
I flung the gate door open,
go off, be gone, be free!;
yet still wished more than ever,
she still belonged to me.
