March 9, 2025, For The Premiere Contest, "I Choose To Dwell In The Clouds"
Sponsor, Tom Woody


I wish I were a Unicorn
   So smooth and white with shiny horn
To prance and dance on clouds up there
   And spend my days surveying air
   
I'd stop and visit clouds of rain-
   Those darker ones, which are a pain
When they release their water flow
   On earthly beings down below

I'd then check out a fluffy one
   The kind that always blocks the sun
It would be best to take a snooze
   While 'neath blue sky I'd float and cruise

I'd love clouds more at sunset time
   When glowing colors make them shine
A Unicorn would like it best
   Upon a cloud that's shiniest

At night, I'd fly up near the moon
   See how the tides are kept in tune
Come morn, I'd go close to the sun
   To see how brand new dawn is done

Again at dark, some stardust find
   The finest and most brilliant kind
To sprinkle on my wings of white
   And store to share the starry light

Perhaps I'd make it way up far
   To find the place where blessings are
I'd seek the ones with greater worth
   And gently throw them down to earth

I wish I were a Unicorn
   So smooth and white with shiny horn
I'd monitor the earth below
   To sprinkle it with stardust glow

This is so ethereal, so heavenly. I sure wish I had had this to read my darling first-born daughter back when she was young, and enamored of "Rainbow Brite" and friends. This would have been (better than) PERFECT. Gorgeous poetry, Sandra. A FAVE for me! :) gw

Gershon, I am so pleased that you enjoyed my poem! One of my granddaughters was obsessed with unicorns when she was young and is why I choose this creature to write about. Thank you so much for your lovely comments and the FAVE! Much appreciated! Sandra
