John Read Poet Rhyme

My World

I like living in 
my own little world 
I'm happy there it's okay. 
It's much more fun
than the real one 
for everydays an holiday. 

It's a world 
without hate or sorrow 
a world where everyone's free
a world of love and harmony 
a world of peace and tranquillity. 

I know my world's 
not the real one 
it's my world of make believe. 
But it's the world I often visit 
if only in my dreams.

Jennifer Proxenos March 18, 2025 at 1:00 AM I wish your kind of world could by magic become true - just imagine, but man's greed will somehow, somewhere seep in or rear its ugly head - UTOPIA WOULD BE IDEAL - who knows, the world is being pounded right now, so maybe a surprise like the way you live could become a reality. Blessings and hugs Jennifer. John Read April 13, 2025 at 10:08 AM Hi Jennifer, it will never happen but we can still dream, sending you my love and best wishes God bless. xx
