In love with mountains
and treetops
I fly, free;
swooping through forests
so high they meet the sky.
Never try confining me,
I can't endure enclosure.
I fly, free.
On iridescent wings
that catch sunlight
and sparkle as I
dip and dive.
I fly, free.

oo.. this reminds me of being a flying squirrel. one can be a flying squirrel in their dreams. the metaphorical meaning can be soaring to reach one's dreams or simply flying high physically and having supernatural powers beyond one's comprehension. this poem is a universal fantasy and reminded me of peter pan and harry potter.

Nice poem. The "my name is Glee" thing sounds a little cheesy to me, but that's just my personal opinion. It doesn't feel like it fits into the rest of the poem. (Your poem is more serious in nature.) Other than that, I like this entry. I like how you bring out the feel of unconfined flight.

a good poem, it would be nice if just for one day we could become a bird or soemthing and fly across the sky
