Poetry Oath
Karyn Indursky
I pledge to write
from my mind,
but listen and follow
my heart until diction forms.
I pledge to write
poetry to free my thoughts
as I unlock the depths
of my muse.
I pledge to poetry
to be creative, original, enlightening
as an adventure
though poetic license.
I pledge to poetry
not to remain stagnant,
but alter with time
to explore poetic writing.
