White Whimsical Poem

Write me a white whimsical poem With fairies unicorns and wizards May all the men be kind and strong And the grandmas never cook gizzards And the children always play outside Doors of the houses are never locked Games aren’t on phones computerized With joy playing ball and hopscotch No war crimes and no school shooter We all smile in the coolest clothes Riding bikes skateboards or scooters Happiness is what we all know Looking back it was a fantasy To live in a simpler time yesterday Perhaps we can learn to be As free if we dream and find a way

The world and the times you have described are indeed beautiful... ! But in today's world of commotion and chaos, it sounds utopian. However there is no harm in dreaming of a time, when there are no wars and all live in amity and companionship. Well articulated, dear Karen.

Sometimes all we can do is press on and dream like M L King said in his speech “I have a Dream” dear poetess. Thanks for reading Valsa. I’ve been in a bit of a writer’s slump!

Oh dear poetess you sadden me with your last four words! Are you ok? Hoping you mean only that you are having difficulty sleeping surely you lack no hope! Hugs of hope from my heart!
