So you have discovered
And
Continue to uncover,
Imagery and metaphor
That only you uniquely
Can share with the world

And a very open road
Is the key to poetry,
Its music and dance?
In which the writer partakes,
While articulating what
Their Muse has stirred within them?

To compare
And envy one another,
For we are all unique
And have individual voice
To speak
And such
Springs out and from which we draw from
Our sole duty is to be faithful
To our voice,
Our source and our muse
