I Am Poetry

In an unopened cage,
I remain unrestrained.
In a world of black and white,
I am color in your night.

 

On a street without a name,
I'm the dancer in the rain.
On a ship without a voyage,
I'm the gypsy full of courage.

 

In a world so profound,
I may seem slave and bound.
In times of no chivalry,
I remain master and free.

 

In a room of masquerade,
I'm the inner child at play.
In the asylum of the heart,
I'm the voice of poetic art.

Wow, I loved this, the imagery is very nicely executed in form and flow, as the passion behind the wording takes on a life all its own, the way poetry represents art, the way metaphors open the door to deeper
understanding that would othrerwise be restrained. this is absolutely crafty and rhythmically creative.

So moving through a sense of metaphor and personal insights... Profound and passionate, deeply touching the heart through your words!

This is a wonderful poem, full of message and rhythm. I love the way it flows and lifts the heart. The perfect format at the end (4th stanza) strikes me as indifferent to the main, which could be by chance, but I think you planned it that way. Wonderful write Jenn, wonderful.
