Sights On the Other Side of the World

There are people on the other side of the world
Whom I will probably never meet or know
People who will have no idea who I am

There are sights on the others side of the world
That I have read about and seen photos of
Sights that may or may not really be there.
How would I know?

There are animals I will never see or hear.
For all I know unicorns and dragons live in Africa.
It’s not like I have been there or will ever go.

There could be giant crabs in South America.
Man-eating crabs in bioluminescent colors.
I do not doubt it.

I ponder the wonders of the world which I will never see
And I smile, for it is fun to imagine all of them and more.

Gershon Wolf Date: 4/12/2022 6:20:00 PM I'm still wondering at what kind of strange, tiny creatures are hiding inside my TV.

Howard Kerr Date: 4/12/2022 9:20:00 AM Hello Caren, I really enjoyed this imaginative work about the mind’s potential to conceive of things people and places from a distance. Your short story “You Will Need A Partner” is extremely well executed. Best wishes Howard Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 4/12/2022 10:22:00 PM Thank you so much Howard

L Milton Hankins Date: 4/11/2022 4:46:00 PM Yes, Caren. The imagination can roam wherever it wishes! Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 4/11/2022 10:36:00 PM I am so glad to have one.

Ilene Bauer Date: 4/11/2022 4:11:00 PM i like this, caren! yes, there is so much that we will never get to see. i guess we have to appreciate the cool things that we do have the opportunity to see with our own eyes...

Andrea Dietrich Date: 4/11/2022 3:23:00 PM Sadly more and more of them will be disappearing. I heard that in time, children will not even see live Koalas or other animals we see today in zoos. I hope these many beauties of the world can be preserved. Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 4/11/2022 10:37:00 PM That is so sad. Incredibly sad.
