You know what I love? I love this definition:

maverick |ˈmav(ə)rik|
noun
1 an unorthodox or independent-minded person : a free-thinking maverick.
• a person who refuses to conform to a particular party or group : the maverick Connecticut Republican.

Not only does it sound cool, it fits me! I have my own ideas about the world, and I finally found the word to describe it. This is a good place to be a maverick. Poetry accepts that. Words accept that. You can say whatever you want in a poem, whether someone reads it or not, doesn't matter. No on has to agree. They just have to accept.
