What some so casually name <br />'bad writing' <br />Could yet lay claim <br />To the title: <br />Good poetry. <br /> <br />With unenslaved words <br />Birth is given to <br />Freedom of expression, <br />The criteria it may lack <br />Is replaced with deep meaning, <br />Brave enough to explore <br />The depths, dangers and delights <br />Of simply being. <br />No shallow cliches. <br />No axes to grind. <br />Just flowing with the ache of desire <br />For lifes Love to find. <br /> <br />Ontic words mystically spoken <br />Salve for the soul broken, <br />The cry of the spirit <br />To dance with wild words, <br />With no stiff logic to stifle <br />Visions of free flying birds, <br />Just a serenade of thought <br />Love so freely flowing <br />Without need to be sold, or bought. <br /> <br />Articulative autonomy of speech <br />Allows the depth <br />Of great dreams to be reached, <br />For it takes lyrical liberty <br />To bring metaphor alive <br />In such descriptive delight as: <br />Dancing barefoot across the oceans flow <br />While gazing at shimmering stars <br />Swimming in the glossy depths below. <br /> <br />Only in a liberation of language <br />Can one acutely describe <br />The aura of where <br />Tree tops and rainbows collide, <br />Scattering colors to the wind....... <br />Only there, by way of poetry <br />Can be heard the sublime messages <br />Creation, to us, does gently send. <br /> <br />Unconstrained communication <br />When allowed a visceral voice <br />Speaks of <br />Meanings without time; <br />Speaks to <br />The thirsty souls of mankind; <br />Speaks for <br />The Love that binds. <br /> <br />- Yes - it could truly be classified: <br />' bad writing '... by some, <br />But, still <br />Its beauty lies within <br /> Freedom of expression; <br />And, therefore, <br />It is indeed good....... <br />And, it is poetry.<br /><br />Smoky Hoss<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/freedom-of-expression-2/
