Notes About The Poem

Ponder

To ponder is to wander down fantasy lane Where dreams lead poets to poetry fame. Quote by poet. I often ponder how life would have been if I’d looks and grace of a beauty queen Would I be happy, would I have riches have my meals served upon silver dishes. Perhaps I’d have lived alike a princess wearing dresses of the absolute best With handsome suitors requesting my hand living dreams only found in fairyland. Maybe I’d have a chauffeur standing by preferably a humble, charming guy To take me shopping at the poshest shop where I could wander and shop till I drop. I ponder about jewels that I’d wear rubies in the tiara on my hair The glances I’d have when out and about and wonderful comments that folk would shout. Then I’ll stop pondering, come back to earth reminding myself I’m no special girl. * * *

My congratulations on your win. A lively poem. Sorry, I'm a bit late, but we had elections in Malta. Corruption galore.

Dear Beryl, you always have a way of turning a moment so it catches the light just right. Ponder moves with that steady honesty you do so O so well. You let the feeling settle without pushing it, and it lands in a heart that stays. Blessings, Daniel
