A Step In the Right Direction

el_cazador_verde

An old and wise hobbit once said,
"It's dangerous business, walking out your front door".
But he nonetheless allowed himself to be led
Into the most epic journey of ancient lore.

I, for one, will follow his lead
And step well beyond my threshold,
For if there's one thing in life that I need,
It's a little adventure, new and bold.

As my feet cross the confines of my door frame,
I'll completely forget everything that I've been told
About living a sheltered life, safe and tame,
And instead discover what adventure my future may hold.

I like to try to experiment with different styles and strange metaphors. Understandably, this can make some of my poetry less accessible at times, but occasionally I feel like it pays off. more…
