I am not sure what I did wrong,
but I was somehow accused.
So, I will start from the beginning,
and then I will pay my dues.

I have wished upon a star,
just to see it gleam.
I walked through the valley,
just to wade in the stream.

I kissed a man underneath the moon,
then let him walk away.
I picked up a dying cat,
from his life of being a stray.

I have pondered over death,
and tried to reach his hand.
I have traveled far and wide,
to step foot on perfect land.

I sat upon a king's gold throne,
and was ravished with riches and more.
I have watched a woman die,
and then quietly walked out the door.

I have cut myself many times,
just to watch blood flow.
I have openly admitted to one,
that I really did not know.

I have walked through a graveyard,
and saw a ghost standing by a tree.
I have helped an eagle get well,
and then I set it free.

I made love underneath the stars,
and then bid that man good-bye.
I have went to the edge of the cliffs,
just to sit down and cry.

I have swam with the fairest of mermaids,
and let them braid my hair.
I have slayed an evil monster,
with just my evil glare.

I have touched an angel's wings,
and seen heaven through the gate.
I held the earth in the palm of my hand,
then came back, before it was late.

So, this is my final plea to the jury.
You see I am innocent, and you know it!
The only thing I am guilty of,
are the experiences of being a poet.

I loved this to death! So creative in your words, your rhymes, even the title. This shows immense talent, and will not soon be forgotten.

Truly,

This is entirely beautiful. Why plead anything else but guilty of being a poet?

Keep writing,
