Poetry Piece: Caged Spirit

When you write a daily poem every day, sometimes it's hard to come up with new and interesting subjects that you have not yet already written about. Of course there's nothing wrong with re-exploring a subject you've already explored, but from time to time, you just need something DIFFERENT.
When I run out of poetry inspiration, I turn to my friends for help.

"Hey (so and so, insert name), can you help me out? I'm trying to write a poem and I need a one word prompt. What's the first word that comes to mind? Anything!"

From there, I write a poem about whatever word they give me. Sometimes the subjects are... interesting. But I write a poem with it anyway. It's a great challenge!

This poem, Caged Spirit, is from a word prompt I got from a friend on Facebook. Her one word prompt? Spirit. As soon as I read it, I was completely inspired and excited by the possibilities for the poem. It's amazing what a single word can invoke in the mind of a writer!
