I is for Imagine

 

Good Words Alphabetically: I is for Imagine

I looked long and hard, tirelessly...I was indefatigable in my quest for a decent i word.  If you look at a list, you will see many of them can be taken in negative ways.  I almost picked interesting or innocent, but they weren't interesting enough, and often innocent is used in ways that give the feeling of helplessness or being a victim.  So "move on" I said.  And I did.  At this point I have not written a poem or done a picture.  Picture should be interesting...Let's see how it goes later today after I finish a few important chores I have to accomplish.  Hmm, important is a good word. Nope.  Not that either.  It ended up being:

Imagine

I would like

to imagine more

just like the days

gone on before

when I was young

and knew

no bounds

imagining that

I had found

artifacts and

ancient tools

dinosaur bones,

real gold, not fools,

I was a cowboy

and bike my horse

and lights in sky

were a spaceship force

about to land

and in my mind I

sought to see

just what the future

held for me

I never ever

imagined my lot

would be a mother

with a tot

who would imagine

greater things than I

    “imagine that!”

     I hear me sigh.
