She delved in the corners, searched the blue sky, dug holes in the dirt, and surveyed the air but there was no magic in sparkling display to draw from within her innate fantasy. She remembers it well for she made it all up from wishes and needs and amazing dreams then buried it deep but not deep enough. It arose one day and pounced like a cat on a poor lowly mouse and played the game all fantasies play when realities intertwine. Oh, love/love me not, real or unreal, could it be, was it ever, just a fantasy? "Yes indeed" said the one no one can ere see “Mind is the magic that makes it all be" and she looked, you know, but, lo and behold, there sat the biggest and grandest vacuum she ever had seen. Fantasy dies by the will of the mind and ‘tis the exchange of energy that makes of mind’s awesome magic dead and dreary, miserable, spent, unable to ever again fantasize you into being undeniably real!

Myself? I do not mind being a fantasy as long as the reality of that is etched deeply in reality. (I think that makes sense--although I had to play fill in the blanks with some of the words?) You write so smoothly that I'm sure that the only stumble I would have would be one in my own mind.  This one in particular has such a rhythmic quality that was pleasingly teasing to me. Always enjoy, Helen. |

Thanks, Karen. We were in each other's worlds for a moment. I'm still in yours thinking about your poem - re-living it from my own memories. |

Ah, Honey, the imagination can be such a powerful thing. ~ Especially when it is your mind that is doing the imagining ~ real or not. I choose to believe that all my wonderful fantasies are real ~ and then I keep them to myself! lol  Love your poetry ~ and you! Linda  |

Oh, dear Linda, So good to see you here with one of your lovely comments. What are dreams and fantasies but a reality soon to be. And imagination - well, I for one don't want to be "dead" without it because it will probably take the place of fantasies, i.e. imagine it and it is! I wish! Lots of love Helen |

Thank you twistedpup, Kat and Richy. Imagination is merely the dressing on the substance of my poems (stories) - can't have one without the other. Helen |
