Robin Davis Poet Rhyme

Bridge of Mystery

Every minute that I
live
Encountering another
bridge
That I'll gladly
walk upon
Leads to
joyfulness-- no harm
Never knowing what
I'll find
When I reach the
other side
Maybe a house upon a
lake
Where it will be fun
to make
A family with the
only guy
Who is the apple of
my eye
Riding a horse would
be a pleasure
On a farm with lots
of treasures
Like a cowboy I can
hold
On country nights
when it is cold
Lying on a beach at
night
Stars dance and
sparkle with a light
That shines down
like magic beams
As I'm drifting off
to dream
A grass skirt and
hula dance
Hawaii's where I'll
take a chance
And do things I've
never tried
That's been hidden
deep inside
Maybe I will find a
shore
Of wonderment not
seen before
Full of fun and
fancy creatures
With strange, unique
and silly features
Pyramids and Eiffel
Towers
And the Louvre have
special powers
Enchanting visitors
with their glory
Reliving memorable
stories
All these things I
can achieve
If my heart only
believes
Once I cross that
winding bridge
Dreams and hopes
will start to live

Christopher Thor Britt November 6, 2013 at 9:18 PM Robin. Reading your poem puts me in mind of my childhood, when anything and everything was possible...when stepping on a crack in the pavement was sure to break a mother's back...when monsters lived in the basement where our old furnace was, and I just KNEW that someday, I could grow up and be a knight, or be crowned king (even though we don't have those things in the US). Loved the read, and the feelings generated. Grats on the 1st place win!!!! CTB

Richard Lamoureux November 6, 2013 at 9:36 AM I so enjoyed this winning piece!

Robert Pettit October 27, 2013 at 3:46 PM Hope it is a bridge where they don't charge a toll to cross. Where the Delaware River separates Easton, PA from Phillipsburg, NJ, practically anybody can throw a rock to the other side because it is so narrow. However, they have the audacity to charge all vehicles at least one dollar to cross the bridge of Interstate 78. Thi is a fanciful write.

Just That Archaic Poet October 26, 2013 at 7:45 AM I have crossed many a bridge in my life, both literal and figurative. And you never know what's on the other side. Speaking figuratively, I have found joy, terror and heartache on the other side. Loved this, sweet pea <3
