Imagination

Power of a fancy
over good reason,
My imagination !

A force of nature
trust or truth,
delight of an immature?

No war no red earth
no remonstrance,
A fascination ?

Bumptious or chagrined
deeply possessed neurotic,
an absconding notion ?

Pulling me in pool of love
then announce exile,
Inchoate insight ?

My imagination 
makes me a fool,
A weird hallucination ?

Love your imagination; like the take on this topic. [I expected to find 'truth' or 'dare' somewhere along the line:)] Congrats on a deserved win, Dr. // paul
