Wishing and Hoping


Dare I dream
that one day I will be
playing on the beach
down by the sea
making sandcastles
catching fish
collecting shells
making a wish
 
Living in snow
more than half a year 
heavy clothes
and winter gear
sunshine hidden
for most of the time
frozen world
it seems like a crime
 
I wish and hope
and want to be
warm and happy
under a palm tree
goodbye cold and snow
Please set me free
so I may live
down by the sea

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

  4. I love your poem Christine. I would love to have Spring all year round. But I don’t…lol
    Joey Blue says you need to live near him… hehe…I guess you will endure the winter and no palm trees just yet. Brrrr. Thanks for joining the challenge.

    1. Thanks Hélène! I’m in Florida so it’s never really that cold. Hope it warms up for you soon 🙂💕

      1. Bitter cold snap we had for a few days, then rain. No palms trees here. Stay in the shade…enjoy.

      2. I don’t know how you do it. You are made of the strong stuff. My blood has thinned out living here 😌😎

      3. You would freeze here at first but then we dress appropriately (so much so ) therefore on some days due to all my layers I can hardly move🤣

    1. Thanks Gina. I agree with the escaping the weather. Sometimes the heat is oppressive or the rains go on too long. In Florida you have to escape too! 🙂
