17 Freedom Poem by Saiom Shriver

*
They thought the moon needed cloudwings to fly but the next night they
saw her soar alone in the sky.
*
Herr heron no longer the freed herring hearing
*
Watching raindropp beads spark seeds into weeds..
was his creed.. and not what any other had decreed
*
One said that marriage is a tree.. do not break its boughs
Another said: as a river flows beyond banks, the past's vows.. to the
present bow..

Spring melts snowflakes. Joy pops balloons. Roots burst
the vase. Love breaks the cage.
*

the morning luster.. of a seabubble cluster.
*
Some like earthworms eat dirt and die.
Others like caterpillars become butterflies.
*
Bell tongs chime... bird flight time
*
If there were left 1 sheet
of Shakespeare's original words
Picasso would it erase that he could ink the space.
*
Those who ordained that a fork goes to plateleft
are the ones who use it as a fleshspear. Their rules bind
none.
*
A Dragonfly on daffodil alights.. having donned a more dazzling dress
as well as the gift of flight
