Invented My Own Planet
invented my own planet
when I was a girl of nine
created it out of the banks
of my favorite things
constructed of thoughts and ideals
character traits needed on all planets
powered by enthusiasm and love
I began hovering over the backyard at age twelve
My darling parents and siblings
in awe of my stealth and powerful
Ingenuity apparent,
full tilt receptivity
They knew they could join me
However, not wanting to stifle me, they wisely did not.
While much of this world is watching TV
I am watching this world.
Catbird seat vision
safely out of harms way
reachable but independent
loving my life!
