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?

I’ve always thought of poetry as a sort of therapy session. Particularly helpful in times of sadness. Here’s hoping it does well in the contest.

That is a very good way of describing poetry. A therapy session.
