Ode To America
Karyn Indursky
Ode to America
where poetry spills
off expressive tongues
to ink pages with
stamped emotions etching
artistic diction in
colorful personalities sketching.
Ode to America
where music evokes
lyrical inspirations
getting feet tapping
out metaphor connections
with hymned poetic license
adding duet vocalists
to enhance tonalities
with dancers collaborating.
Ode to America
where painters brush
their canvas communications
in palettes of cleverness
blending fiction into
reality with splashes
of ethnic styles.
Ode to America
where having dreams
flies like our flag
of pride, courage, bravery
to show how historic soldiers
gave us the ability
to represent not merely ourselves,
but our cultural traditions.
Ode to America
where making oaths
to God is held sacred
within our prayers
withstanding the right
to love our country
with beloved blessings
of friends, family, animals
providing the true meaning
of America's beauty
and why I am proud
to be an American poetess.
