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.

Loved this. Each line seems to be a reflection of my soul. Great writing, dear. Must admit... the word "fondling" drew me in. ;)

I can so relate to this! And your use of the word, " fondling" creates a bit of naughtiness to the imagination! Xo

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

Dear CayCay, a lovely poem! Sometimes the reality gets too chaotic that only the reverie of the mind can calm the chaos! "A spoonful of fantasy is often the best medicine for reality" I love this! So beautifully written! Best, Anne
