*This is one of the first poems I ever wrote, I think I was 16 or 17*
~Now I'm almost 22, so it wasn't that long ago~

- Life -

Life is that of a caged bird,
capable of beautiful song and flight
but, only so an hour,
the door is opened
and freedom...
tasted for a bittersweet moment
until it is no more,
life's dreams remain empty,
hopes never whole,
and so, the caged bird no longer sings
for, there is too much of pain,
realizing that happiness -
the unattainable illusion
is but an occasional act
in a neverending drama of drudgery
with no chance of escape

*By Melissa Honeybee*

The beauty of poetry gives my soul wings to fly free within dreams

If this was your first poem then you must have been born a poet because this is one of the best first poems that I`ve read.
Very Nice.

it's a WONDERFUL first poem... it truly is, and it's very true that life is something nobody gets out of alive

Melissa~
What a wonderful thing for you to share with us.

'Life is that of a caged bird,
capable of beautiful song and flight
but, only so an hour,
the door is opened
and freedom...'

Ahhhhh, but in that hour ...
how sweet the song on freedom's wing~
Wonderful, hon.
