Free Verse Poem for the Contest
A chapter in the book 2024 Gypsy's Free Verse
From Her Dark Room
by Gypsy Blue Rose
Dedicated to Maya Angelou
from her dark room she watches people go by they laugh cheerfully and go to places near and far she dreams of the things they may do and feel
from her dark room she dreams of joy beyond the hills but she is trapped in dread and fear no one to embrace only memories of his touch and the loving way he was
broken promises lie by her feet on her dark empty room where nobody sees her unrequited love longing for the way it used to be when she was happy and free

A poem about a Woman contest entry
"The caged bird sings
with fearful trill
of the things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom"
- 'I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings', by Maya Angelou, American Poet Laureate, author, and civil rights activist.
The contest requirement is to write about a woman who has impacted my life. I chose Maya Angelou because she is my favorite poet and a remarkable woman. I feel inspired by Maya in many ways ... personal advice, inspirational speeches, the way she lived her life, and her beautiful poems.
Thank you for reading my poem,
Gypsy
