Write Eleven Beautiful Lines of Poetry

"A spoonful of fantasy is often the best medicine for reality." - Poet Somedays I'm a pale apple wishing to be a tangerine. Fantasy focused fulfillment fondles contentment dreams. Enthrall me free amid emerald enthused energy, wrapped snug-complete in scented sachet sheets - let gleaming threads golden-gloss this glorious bed. May lyrical lilacs air link, lift and softly dance while harmony twists and peace dips to dazzle me. I shiver, smile and sigh sensing the sheen of sky - an ebony-onyx symphony sympathizing with me and the ground, a gushing-grass generous scene. Somedays I'm a pale apple wishing to be a tangerine.

I agree with Gershon, a kaleidoscope of so much, color, originality, fantasy, and imagery. Your imagination so fertile my friend - an apple wishing to be a tangerine, like for example Winnie the Pooh wanting to be Eeyore! Love it Cay Cay and huge congrats on your win. HUGS, BLESSINGS - Jenny.

This poem is so rewardingly delightful, and so deliciously satisfying - a true fantasy! The alliteration, imagery, repetition all work. These really are eleven beautiful lines. Love the way you write, and I missed you dear CayCay. Be Blessed, always - Hiba <3
