CayCay Godwin Poet Rhyme

Fondling a Good Fantasy

"A spoonful of fantasy is often the best medicine for reality." - CayCay


Life bounces my emotions around at its whimsy.
On many a day, a reverie is a savior to me.
Relief awaits inside the fondling of a good fantasy.
My imagination travels mind breezes easily
to unravel my dark in a visualization spree.
Sometimes I cannot force my face to even fake smile,
cannot elevate emotions above my bleak stockpile,
or take depression out of my character profile.
Escaping through my imagination's creative style
may lead to a dream worthy of keeping on speed dial.

Crystol Woods June 29, 2025 at 7:23 AM I can so relate to this! And your use of the word, " fondling" creates a bit of naughtiness to the imagination! Xo

Michael Coy June 25, 2025 at 5:37 AM It's always great to encounter a poet who knows how to innovate. I really like the unique rhyme scheme and the lasciviously long lines. Good work! Michael
