If You Were Rich, Where Would You Live and Why

November 10, 2015 If I were rich what would I have done? I am thinking of places near and far Perhaps a lavish mansion Hidden in the heart of a mysterious land Its walls build of Far East marbles, embroidered with shiny brass Glass floors curved with diamonds, crystal Chandeliers hanging from every slant I would bath every morning in the camel milk And would put on the finest silk I would demand kings and queens official visit To brag about my newest shoe suite! If I were rich, I could have even lived on the moon In a spaceship in the shape of a cocoon I would float instead of walk and do all sort of summersault And sing Na Na Na Na while watching you catch a bus to work Or I could take a knapsack and travel the world Live in every five star hotels Exclusive room service and personal hosts I would lift my little finger When sipping on the most exclusive Champaign Flirting with fine young gents And rolling my eyes at beautiful girls You want me to tell you the truth? I don’t really want to be rich I am happy with what God has blessed me with My family is my greatest treasure My friends are my assets, my God my golden armor Why should my heart yearn for any other? When I am already rich! Written for "IF YOU WERE RICH, WHERE WOULD YOU LIVE AND WHY?" contest

I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your poem. I was equally amazed by your honest and humble heart. Your words and lines create a distinctive pattern throughout your poem. the descriptive words, the variation in sentences provide an easy , flowing rhythm. You used repetition effectively to express your thoughts and feelings. I could clearly see all the places your words describe. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and feelings with us. It was a joy to read.
