Well, I guess I'll post just this for now. Don't expect any more, though. Commentary and criticism are welcome.
I Will Fly
Free verse, irregular rhythm and flow. Please do not try to force the rhyme when reading; any rhyme is unintentional.
My greatest ambition is to soar
Since the day I was born I've tried
Jumping off cliffs in hopes that
Someday I will fly
But even with all this work
My efforts are unrequited
Struggling to flap my arms
Only to hit the ground again
Sometimes I feel
Embarrassed and silly
Trying to attain
What is impossible for me
One day, jumping off a ledge
I break my arm and cry
My trainer bade me stop, but I believe
Someday I will fly
--
The winter is nearing
And the North winds are blowing
I have longing, but it is not possible
To flap my arms and fly
Hunger is gnawing at my stomach
And the temptation is great
But I will endure this obstacle
As surely as I will fly
The snow is blowing in my face
As I prepare to jump once more
But no matter how much I try
Seemingly I will never fly
--
The snow is melting, bit by bit
And I still cannot take flight
I have given up almost all hope
That I will ever fly
The wind is gusting, and I see
My trainer struggling to hold against
One strong gale pushes him over
The tall and rocky cliff
At that moment my emotions take over
I run after him
And as I jump over the ledge
I grow some newfound wings
Over the evening sun I glide
Under the oaks I pass
Over the clouds I soar
Under the moon I slip
The wonderful sensation of flying
I am truly free!
All because I longed to soar; thought someday
I will fly
