Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

What Could Be

If I had a clone
I surely would be
exuberant
flamboyant and fancyfree

I would sing and dance
for the whole world to see
aboard every single cruiseship
on every sea

I would follow the sun
and chase the moon
but most assuredly
I would clone myself
again and again
to pursue each dream
that I hold dear to me

I would time travel
to study under
Michelangelo
I would be a contemporary
and groupie of Shakespeare

I would walk for miles
in the footsteps of Ghandi
I would sit on the mountainside
with thousands to listen to Jesus
and partake of fish and bread

I would fly to the moon with Chris Hadfield
and make his coffee while he texts from space
I would sit with Buddha under the bohdi tree
and travel to Atlantis to see
what the fuss is all about

Surely though if I had a secret life
I’d still come home each night to you

Alexis Y. January 6, 2019 at 11:38 AM WoW! Line, You took your reader on an amazing journey. It would be something to actual sit under and learn from all of those iconic people you mentioned. I especially loved the last two lines " Surely though if I had a secret life,I’d still come home each night to you". Because at the end of the day, what would life or any other life mean without someone special to share it with. I think you've penned your way on to the winner's list. Excellent job! Best wishes in the contest:-)Alexis Line Gauthier January 6, 2019 at 12:20 PM Thank you so much, Alexis, for your most appreciated visit and comment. Line xx
