Lou Schreiberg Poet I do not know?

Would You Understand?

If I saw a purple moon
and told you all about it,
would you understand
and say you do not doubt it?

If I saw a hippopotamus
upon that purple moon,
would you wink your eye
at the ravings of a loon?

If upon that hippo grew
an odd and strangely tree,
astride upon a branch
sat a fellow, exactly like me,
should I ask
see my vision of a wonderland,

would you understand?

Audonus Taylor October 29, 2010 at 3:18 PM I don't see a raving loon. Instead I see the uniqueness in all of us writers in ths piece. If not for creativity and imagination, we would not be where we are now. I think you unknowingly sent a statement to everyone who makes fun of the eccentric. In retrospect, this piece makes me feel less alone. Thank and Great Work!
