Poetry

Watching the words play on the page,

he begins to learn the rules of thier game.

He converses with the referees and officials,

known to most as grammar and punctuation.

He is introduced to the all the players,

but noun, verb, and adjective are the starters.

Eventually, he is confident enough to coach

his own team and becomes an author.

He develops his tactics and strategy,

and slowly his playbook thickens.

He wonders if one day he and his players can go

the distance and together become champions.

Such a wonder, that such a wondrous

world arose from twenty six scribbles

and a few meager symbols in between.

As the eyes are the windows of our soul,

An astounding work!  Love

An astounding work!  Love extended metaphors... It's what my poetry thrives on.  Comparing poetry to a team, with the players being parts of speech.  And the ending... Shear perfection.  Bravo!  Keep up the good work.... Thoroughly enjoyed this one.
