The Creature {F}
As I sit inside my room,
outside theres a bird.
Watching me,
I listen to the soft sound,
of her song....
A long sad song...
I watch the bird,
free from her cage.
Able to sing,
and free to fly.
Standing near my window,
looking through seeing me.
Not knowing The Creature,
inside is...
The bird cries,
tilting her head...
Singing a song of,
sadness for me.
I remain in my cage.
Unable to be set free.
Happiness set right in side me...
Fear laying just beneath
my skin....
Emotions running,
around in my soul...
Invading my mind,
capturing my heart.
A bird crying,
watching the caged animal !
A bird crying for,
my release
my freedom.
I am a caged animal,
watching a bird cry for me.

Nice idea! Free verse can be very, very effective in short lines like that.
