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 AP: 2nd place 2020 Submitted on January 5, 2019 for contest IF I HAD A SECRET LIFE sponsored by CAREN KRUTSINGER - RANKED 1ST

Hello Line! I am a music composer and I really like your poems. Can I use this poem in my song? For now I don't have a plan of publish or perform so it will just be in home. Thanks!

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
