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
