CayCay Godwin Poet Free verse

WISHING TO BE A TANGERINE

Somedays I'm a pale apple wishing to be a tangerine.
Fantasy focused fulfillment fondles favored dreams.
Enthrall me free amid emerald enthused energy
while softly snuggle wrapped in sensual satin sheets.
Let gleaming gilt threads golden gloss this glorious bed.
May lyrical lilacs air link to lift and softly dance while
harmony twists and polished peace dips to dazzle me.
I shiver, smile and sigh sensing supreme sheen in sky
and see a grand ground gushing a generous grassy green.
Somedays I'm a pale apple wishing to be a tangerine.

Jennifer Proxenos April 18, 2025 at 10:31 AM 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.
