The Great Escape
> Do any of you ever enter competitions? I must confess I am tempted to enter the occasional Internet one. The following poem was entered into one which expressed the title The Great Escape, it did not stipulate any particular escape.
The Great Escape
Calm serene where!
I close my eyes a moment.
To escape in sleep you see.
The turmoil of this world.
Which really upsets me.
So off to dream world I do go.
I wander everywhere and so.
I find peace, tranquility and calm.
When nought, can cause me any harm.
I go nowhere, not from choice.
No picture, scene, or someone's voice.
Just float about, calm and serene.
Forget the TV carnage I've seen.
There is no news, where I harry now.
Fields are green, have sheep and cows.
Grazing on the lush green grass.
I hope this dream will always last.
Alas, I wake, where did I go?
To where it was so peaceful.
So I might visit there again.
And get away, from life's real pain.
I did not really win. Although it was chosen to be inserted in someone else's book. For an financial advance for my copy if you know what I mean. I did place this In my first book Poems. Some happy, some sad, some to make you glad , then the poem had commas and punctuation marks all in the wrong places. My daughter, bless, still thinks they still are. So Book 6 will be credited to her, if I can fit it in somewhere. lol (TmA)<
