THE CAGED BIRD
I feel at times
Like a caged bird
Until I pen a line
And get released through words
With the freedom to move about
And recite something
That has never been heard
An original rendition
That broke out of the cage
Line for line
Page by page
Word for word
For when I am
In my poetic zone
Do not disturb
As I connect subjects to verbs
Titles to sentences
All while placing my very private thoughts
And a myriad of ideas
Inside of a parenthesis
As I get released through words
The great escape
And writing the things
That simply cannot wait
When I pen a line
Even when I felt at times
Like a caged bird
Where writing comes alive
