Metamorphosis

a silly poem about poetry woke up as this one day. some of the words are mine. some I can't claim.

Poetry is a place

outside
under blue skies

breezes trickle by
clouds wink
hills look on

 

Poetry is a place

where I am more than the chains

that tie me to my desk

during lunch
I'll slip them off with my shoes

arrive barefoot
and free

That simple metamorphosis can sometimes keep us sane. It sounds so simple but isn't always that easy. We make our escapes as we're able to and reap the bennies from it. This is a delightful reminder Emily, and you often give me the little reminders I need and I'm so thankful for you.

[Solst Rapture]

Oh Emily. Exactly exactly exactly. This is almost like air. It brushes up against me, almost covertly, yet it leaves a sensation preferred over most others...

[KUFU]

AHHH, this was nice. Im just gonna kick-back and put my feet up for awhile... ... ...

[Blue Sky]

A most befitting piece, the way words appease to your heart, and so much more


although short in length, yet it holds a significance. Poetry tends to the poetic as in the manner you have so excellently presented here.


Excellent writing, a pleasure to read yours!!

An excellent piece of laissez faire whimsy. I like in the brief imagery how the sky is personified to play childlike with the writer, and the hills the observer, nice figurative twists. This is like a red twizzler.

i think ,all literature ,yes ,can take us far ,beyond limits ,beyond chain of life ,it sets us flying without wings but with imagination ,i think stronger than any wings can take us ,it open the whole world for us to travel and come back through speed of light ,oh that wonderful mind ,it surely has great powers

Such inocents and beauty of a mind with an imagination. A picture painted with words and heart. As I sit at my desk I can only relate all to well with the line: "where I am more than the chains that tie me to my desk ". A great little escape into the place we call poetry. Good job.

Nice chota write. A simple descirption of poetry. Poetry is indeed that you give your thoughts feedom and do not let the chains that tie you physically at your desk come between your mind and poetry. So true indeed. ~KA~
