The Library

Posted byChristine BoltonPosted inBlog, MysteryTags:, , , 
I looked up from the book
and rubbed my eyes
Engrossed in the mystery
it had taken me far away
to a place I could visualize
 
I imagined a world
so different from here
Where pigs could fly
and horses could sing
and humans had no fear
 
The sea was pink
and the sky was green
Trees were upside down
Flowers were all blue
and there was no need to clean
 
People spoke in gobbledygook
and they all had wings
Flying everywhere
and nowhere, playing
instruments with strings
 
A loud noise made me jump
It gave me quite a scare
My book had slipped to the floor
Then I suddenly realized
I had fallen asleep in the chair

I have been writing poetry since I was a child and it has helped in the good times and bad times. I am always looking within to find the answers to life's problems and to write thought-provoking poetry and prose. Thanks for checking it out. Christine

  1. Precious poem Christine. I love that there was no need to clean. What a beautiful dream, if only pigs could fly, horses could sing and we had no fear. What a world this would be.
    I added you to the roundup that went out today.
    New prompt goes out in a few hours.
    Thank you so much for this light hearted poem. It gave me much joy while reading it, smiling too. 🤗❤

  4. Books are a world of dreams and fantasies…. the one I’m reading, is about a boy who is lost, hugging, talking, living inside the tree, and being saved by the tree ……

  5. Hi Christine, This is a great poem, full of Imagination.

    Just to let you know, in your title, you missed out the first R in Library. One of those things you don’t see when you write it yourself.

    All the best. 🙂
