In My Wildest Dreams

five, seven, five craze
poet’s mind becomes obsessed --
visions of seasons

all four blend as one
melting pot of poetry --
eating more than words

winter puts pounds on
spring has us on a diet --
words spew more slowly

bikini summer
Brad Pitt leaves Jolie for me --
in my wildest dreams

Carolyn! Well I didn't know you had all those wild thoughts! "bikini summer...Brad Pitt leaves Jolie for me". I think your mind is clouded with some wild thoughts of Mr. Pitt! Wish I was a mind reader! LOL. Thanks for your best wishes for me and David and for placing your comment on my poem "This Time". One love and blessings always. Joy (Jew)
