My Fantasy Future








I wondered!
Holding the warm, steaming mug of coffee in my hand.
What surprises awaited me in……
Poetry Soup Land.

I fantasized!
A future with impressive poetry writes.
But realized, that might never be,
It’s not me, and does not sit right.

I accepted!
My simplicity and that works best for me.
I released that which shall never be 
Thus took to walk to share my dreams 
With the shining,waves of the sea !

I realized.
I was blessed each shining day of my full,
long life.
Most will never see my age, they think, 
being young, are free from strife!

I experienced. 
More sorrows, pain, joys than
they will possibly ever feel.
And thus keep my poetry forever, quite simple and real.

I lived.
Through the histories they pen,
so eloquently about.
I choose the present, to pen and shout about!

Hi Regina! Some sorrows? Poetry that I will hever pen about. I am far too honest for my own goid. I learned that here. If you express yourself openly, squadrons of big groups here will set out to have your mouth shut. Or..get you removed from PS. Blogs? I wont get near. Thats where the knives come out. No need to be vicious here. There are poets who are sane here too!! They are my friends. I grew up here. To trust each poet is a dangerous game.you have to watch your back. Its like a minefield here. So dont be naive like I was please. God’s light is needed here… Pangie

Dearest Pangie, This is a beautiful reflection on embracing simplicity and finding joy in the present moment. Your words live with authenticity and gratitude for life’s experiences, both joyful and sorrowful. The scenes of walking by the sea and sharing dreams reflects a unique connection to nature and self-discovery. Your decision to celebrate the real and the simple is a testament to your wisdom and strength. Pangie it is a heartfelt journey. - Blessings, Daniel

Dear Daniel, You understand the human psyche quite well!not all people have the insight into fellow poets that you do. There is a river of sanity you have.along with a compassion for others..destruction of a fellow poet is not a hand you play. I have friends here, indeed..You are one of my new friends.I am so grateful for that. I do like the simple and the real.. Pangie thank you!
