Introspection

I nner child looked back at me as I looked deep within
N everland of candied childhood wishes and dreams
T empting to just want to linger here
R elishing in that sweet taste disappointment has yet to sour
O h how time tempers some wants and desires
S ome sugar does remain in the sediment, however
P ossibility for dreams to be realized, still
E ventually too much sugar is not good for any one
C auses more than just enamel to rot
T akes a mix of sweet, bland, and salty to make a life
I t's a blend that enhances the spice of life 
O verstayed my welcome again
N ight night Neverland, hello reality

Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/28/2016 8:36:00 PM sorry I have to hurry and make dinner and can't find a new one or old one I have not seen. If you can think of any you would like me to see, please let me know. What is your personal favorite, Dineen? Login to Reply Dineen Williams Gault Date: 6/29/2016 8:06:00 AM Bet dinner was tasty :). I think you've viewed them all, you offer a wealth of support Andrea, and I thank you for that. While I don't have a favorite, I appreciate when I can view my poetry with new eyes so to speak. After I read your comments on my piece Butterflies and the Sunrise, I was able to read that piece in a new light. So, I do thank you very much for that as well.
