A Poet's Realm

There is a magical realm in my world, where I feel no fear. A place of unique experiences, in which I never shed a tear. It's here that my senses are heightened, time and time again, where my imagination has no bounds with paper and my pen. A princess rescued and dragons roar in mystical lands I create Here, I write fairytale endings and determine a creature's fate In this amazing domain I view things without using my eyes. As a poet, I can conceive anything that ingenuity can devise. Sometimes, when I'm fast asleep, my heart travels in flight along paths of fanciful dreams, so I pick up my pen and write about things I see as I journey through my psyche's porthole penning marvelous adventures that burn deep inside my soul Maybe now you can understand this wonderful gift I possess In this magic place I am free from disappointment and stress. Alone with my thoughts I find beauty in balanced symmetry. Can you comprehend why I find pleasure in writing poetry? *Entered into contest with kind permission of my co-writer* November 1, 2021 DO- IT (DUETS) Poetry Contest Sponsored by James Edward Lee Sr
