(no subject)
To stay outside the lines, I'm trying my hand at poetry. Of course, I use the easiest form possible - stanzas made of haiku.
I stayed in the lines.
I played by the rules they gave.
They said and I did.
I stayed in the lines
Until one day. I drove off.
I left them behind.
The road called to me
Like a siren's seduction
And helped me find a new home.
I found a new town.
I found friends and made a life.
In time, a new love.
I remind myself:
Life is a game with no rules.
Lines are suggestions.
