Welcome to My Poetry Site

Wanting Only To Rhyme

Before I could return to writing prose,
  the Muse kidnapped my pen by decree

Most days fully structured and measured on end,
  but tonight
     -words yearned to be free

Each story cerebral, its words to describe,
  new plots marching forward in time

With fables inscribed for others, not I,
   my true voice
      -wanting only to rhyme
