we went to disneyland
and you are just transported
give me cobblestones, gas lamps and
a passive-aggressive Iron Man
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
the sign states you must be sober to ride
there is a rhino appearing to pierce the backside
of a white, moustachioed man, escaping up a tree
is it real, or is it more of the woozle fever dream
and our guide steve tells us to not panic
give me resplendence, iridescence
a fantasyland train station
kaleidoscopic and free hot chocolate
with purchased ticket
'Goofy will now light up the Christmas tree
and ensure all our wishes come true.'
i need that horse i've backed to come in,
brain tendencies and uncontrollable anger
purchase a 'non-stop 2-Day Fun Ticket'
to enter the park two days in a row
who's driving this flying umbrella?
Through the timepiece
Imaginations where dreams are made
Engaging in the possibilities
Thinking on the mysteries
Enchanted embraced
Crazy in obvious
Mind focus on curious
Dreams upon dreams full aspirations
Thoughts beyond imagination
Wonder never ceases
The mind will create
Possibilities will become associate
Elements upon elements mind experiment
Elevating factors
Scientific becoming magnificent
Fantasy mind
Imagination combined
Mr. Fantasy Idealogy
Suggestion on could be.
In a fantasyland
of their own creation
politicians spawn
Spreading their eggs of division
and lies
among bottom feeding pawns
Propagating treason
corruption and graft
to freely flow downstream
Carrying our destiny
over the falls
— of shattered broken dreams
(The New Room: February, 2024)
Pages flying
Thunder clapping
Sun shining
Hearts breaking
Snowflakes dancing
Willows weeping
Wind whistling
It's all personification- but what if we switched them around:
Pages whistling
Thunder flying
Sun clapping
Hearts shining
Snowflakes breaking
Willows dancing
Wind weeping
Sounds like fantasyland- maybe that's where elves make toys, fairies fly, dwarves mine, trolls sing and dance, and gnomes do... whatever gnomes do.
The premise behind this poem, What does cloud 9 mean?
A state of bliss, elation or happiness
cloud nine (uncountable) (idiomatic) Often in the phrase on cloud nine: a state of bliss, elation or happiness. quotations ? He was on cloud nine for days after she agreed to marry him.
I wonder whats on cloud nine
I wonder what its like up on cloud nine,
Would the weather up there be fine,
Would the storm in my head clear,
Would it free me of all my anxiety and fear,
I wonder what it would be like up on cloud nine,
Would it just cross over country borderlines,
Or would it take me up into the sky,
Would it take me to a city in clouds up high
A city ive only ever imagine in your minds eye,
A place of peace a place where life is beautified
That's free of impurities and the evils of our world,
A place I could only dream of, I guess it is a Dreamworld,
Oh how I wonder what it would be like on cloud nine
Would the weather up there be fine,
Would the storm in my head clear,
Would it free me of all my anxiety and fear,
Tanka as Poem
I have been outside
Nature is beautiful they say
It was rather cold
The sun a polished one euro
Clouds are the sun’s flunkies
Inside looking out
Nature looks fantasyland
You can’t lure me out
The wilderness is insecure
And sometimes the wind blows hard.
I’m civilized man
Outdoor is discovery channel
Sharks and dark water
Nature needs a glass divider
Enjoying our inimitableness
Heaven
Celestial, Delightful
Opening, Promising, Giving
Kingdom, Paradise, Fantasyland, Utopia
Decaying, Deteriorating, Ebbing
Wounded, Abused
Earth
I hope one day,
We'll steal away.
Let's have a Rendezvous.
Together.
You know I care,
Come take my dare.
Let's have a Rendezvous.
For love.
Meeting face to face,
At a special place I know of.
An idyllic spot,
Where the sand kisses the sea.
Paradise for two,
Only me and you.
Together.
Perfect solitude,
For an interlude.
Uninhibited and free!
Tell me you'll go.
I've got to know.
Let's have a Rendezvous.
Together.
My simple plan.
Woman and man.
Let's have a Rendezvous.
For love
When we set a date,
I'll anticipate us leaving.
My excitement grows,
Till that wondrous day arrives.
With you by my side.
We will take a ride.
Together.
Being here with you,
Dreams are coming true.
When you're near,I come alive!
From head to toe.
I need you so.
Let's have a Rendezvous.
Together.
Fantasyland
Come,take my hand.
Let's have a Rendezvous.
For Love!
A Rendezvous
For Love!
Received a major degree in silliosity last week
Well deserved, reside in fantasyland just up the creek
Robin Poop, the main character
Turned out a disaster
Married a young maiden though his pip had a squeak
What is it about us and our kind
Quietly sitting there
Not calling out the bullies
The liars the cheats the fake
Taking it passively from that
Whole class of degenerates
We’re just interested in being happy
In our little world of art and whimsy
We don’t have it in us to push back
Be it thick-skinned politeness or
Delusional optimism on our part
Is it anything less than our way
Of nodding sheepishly heads in approval
Not daring to retaliate and take a stand
For fear of speaking out of turn
Is it just our way of perpetuating
The bloodline of victims
Of pushovers and doormats
For fear of getting involved
Wallflowers not wanting to stir the pot
We want to carry on in fantasyland
Where lighthearted our type treads
Believing life can and should be fair
With everyone wanting to live in harmony
In our little world everyone gets along

THE WINTER BED-CHECK
Roy Mokoena
Waking up in midst of the night,
Burdened by the loneliness in me,
Hard to lie a head on an empty bed.
In the cold hours, I rolled from left to right,
I put my wings close to the body,as a bird on alighting- i needed a warm cuddle.
I was hoping for a feminine touch,
Her hands to embrace, I was freezing.
I looked up, I imagined, I desired, but nothing,
I couldn't resist the craving, I was burning.
The confusion dimmed my mind off,
I remembered, Tears ran down my face!
Stronger feelings- I needed a company,
Someone of a gender contrary to mine,
Whom I could exchange the breath with.
Only the pillows were in my possession,
The shivering never stopped, a winter battle!
Dry lips- I needed a mouth-watering,
Cold hands- I needed someone to caress!
The only way to substitute loneliness,
Is by creating a solid togetherness!
A man, A woman- their marriage!
Their oneness is their happiness!
How fantastic is the fantasyland of a man who dreams and do things differently in the next wake!
Set action plans that bring about change,
And live a lifestyle that brings him full satisfaction!
Second Amendment and Child Like Behaviour
Suppose a red rose we should start to see
Reminding all those there of you and me
And such a short life together we did live
Total devotion to each other we would give.
AR-15 rifle is being raffled off by someone
Both automatic rifle and an assault gun
For conflicts and wars was only designed
Police and/or military operations combined.
In hunting by civilians was never meant for
Shooting of animals, coyotes or wild boar
National Guard local files check (LFC) you need
And how weapons chamber to properly feed.
Why would you want to give or sell a weapon
And each and every rule always be excepting
If you had unsatisfactory behavior incorrect
Sell any weapon to them should not select.
South does have a old flag great and grand
But why do they live in la la and fantasyland
Rules and regulations do destroy or distort
No wonder weapons holders win in any court.
Second Amendment sure is such a big issue
All Republicans and NRA will have to ensue
Need Democrats to be our protector and savior
Defend us from confusion and child like behavior.

This pain makes me wonder
Is there ever a day
When everything can go right
And this world is as curl as they say
My spirit is writhing slowly away
My mind can't bring itself to obey
My thoughts are racing
Short of what could have been
The realization slowly sinking in
I had to see it for myself
Halfway in halfway out
These feelings are going nowhere
Myself without a doubt
It's crazy how life works
Just stones within the dirt
Mortality taking over
Lifeline can counted through a four leaf clover
This pain has left me shaken
My soul slowly breaking
Where is it when I need it
Just really can't believe this
Your gone just like that
My whole world has just been attack
I don't know where I'm going with this
Or if I will ever bounce back
The days are getting longer
My mind is getting stronger
These challenges at hand
Make room for fantasyland
When my thoughts become dangerous
On the rocks I lay
We pray this one makes it through another day
With the mindset and a new timeframe
Absolutely loved old Mickey Mouse
My all-time favourite character
No matter what my age is chronologically
Can't wait to crank up the projector
As he carouses round the celluloid screen
Fills my heart with great happiness
His squeaky voice rings out loud and clear
Always creating such rowdiness
Remember the Wonderful World of Disney
One in four was from Fantasyland
Of course, I enjoyed the other three weeks
But adored Mickey and his band
Life was filled with joy back then
Hoped we'd stay kids forever
Thoughts of getting old sometime in the future
Occurred to us almost never
Mickey and his band kept us chuckling all day
No worries, the world was in rhyme
Never concerned what the future had in store
Only fun till beddy-byes time
