10 The poet’s dream


Say my friend,  
What would you like to reincarnate into?
Bee first, or dragonfly
but life would be too short,
So as an elephant, 
But I would be chased into the Savannah,
No, actually,
In jay, swallow, or seagull
To fly every day,
AND never have any worries.

If that did happen, Yann, I have no idea what I would want to come back as in a lifeform that is not human. Thank you for sharing this one. 👏✍️. Sara K.

Dear Yann, your fantastic poem is quite imaginative and invites us to think about the possibilities of reincarnation. The poem effectively uses different animals to explore themes of life and freedom, and it captures a playful yet thoughtful mood. Well done.

There it is: A bird is the surely the best choice. Just fly from any trouble or troubles. Sounds ideal to me.
