O - Sounds Greek to me.
P - It should be,
P - I am from Greece,
P - by the Aegean Sea.

now all at peace.
P - But before I go home,
P - I go to La La Land,
P - then on to Rome.

O - That land is a dreamland,
O - but wait, you no go back,
O - you go to that place?

P - All roads lead home, no offtrack.
O - But, La La, Dream, it's out in space.
P - It's okay, I got wings.

P - No attached strings?
O - No you'll be alright.

O - And then, straight on till morning ...

Your visits to my page add a special touch. Sara K Login to Reply Hilo Poet Date: 12/10/2023 9:08:00 AM Of Pegasus, mayhaps 'tis a series be, if I've a mind to remember. If not, he'll hook up--not Capt'n Hook, but Peter Pan whose line I stole to tether my piece. BTW, yes for I will be posting one soon, and with that, my friend--eternal thanks. Aloha, William

Silent One Date: 12/10/2023 7:26:00 AM Very creative Hilo.. fantasy always helps with our words as we can be as creative as we want.. that is the beauty of poetic license...

Ink Empress Date: 12/9/2023 10:32:00 PM I always love a bit of mythology in poetry. And i love how you’ve written about pegasus. Poseidon's winged horse and ao many others Gods of Greek, had pegasus in their tales. The flow of this is beautiful and i also especially loved the line “ land in a grassy dale“ “ But, La La, Dream, it's out in space.It's okay, I got wings” Creative one dear Hilo. Pleasure always reading your work. Login to Reply Hilo Poet Date: 12/10/2023 7:16:00 AM I appreciate it, Ink Empress. Touch of fantasy made alive drawing out characters anew along the old storyline of Neverland. Also appreciate your highlighted notations. Aloha, William
