Your forked tongue
Hissing in my ear
The sound of your voice
Permanently instilling fear
The voice which forced
Me into confinement
In your brilliantly gilded cage
Forever trapped despite my age
A weak little bird
Wings clipped for all to see
Slowly fading away
While all her friends fly free
Well it's about the relationship between me and my mother.

I disagree with the first comment, poetry doesn't need to have rhythm or beat to make it poetry. Some poetry is so arranged. For myself it's much more important to isolate feelings in phrases and words. Whatever I feel does that best is what gets used. So often I will have single words by themselves... Alot of what I write can be posted on DA because they dont support what I want to do...

Doesn't matter. It's a nice short piece that packs alot of punch into so little. If you want it to be beat poetry, you will have to make some adjustments. The best practice though is just writing what you want to write. And reading as much poetry as you can get your hands on good, bad, known, unknown it all helps you find your own way and voice.

Okay getting off my soapbox now, I apologize
