The Songbird

A Poem

It all seems so quaint

Committing words to a page

It's not like I'm doing anything better

I'm inside my gilded cage

I know this may sound odd to you

And I accept the risk of sounding fem

But there's no damsel in this fairy tale

And I'm the only man keeping me within

The bars are coated in gossamer

With posh, fur laden floors

It all seems so extravagant

But I can't seem to find the doors

I write so I won't look for them

And the Deities know, I've searched

Now I'm content typing on my swing

A songbird lightly perched

I reminisce on my times with others

The parts my imagination can't hide

I believe I'll lay on the duvet

And write about being outside.
