I send my poems off
like warriors to war
I send my poems off
like the adventurers of old
I send my poems off
to woo and ******
to dance and entertain.
I send my poems off
to shine light into dark corners
I wish them luck,
as I wave them goodbye
All bravado and
bolstered confidence
Out into a world of
of readers and writers
and now....
when they, my words
are out in space
halfway between here
and wherever there ends up being
You want me to reel them in
to recant...to put a spear to them....
Palinode, be ******
These words...
have paid their dues,
they have flown the coop
I'm not blowing
them out of the sky now.
