[bodytext] => There once was a day I took a stroll
Keeping my eyes open as I walked I came across a castle perched upon a great white cloud So high up there it almost touched the heavens The moat around it overflowing with sharks And as far as I could tell, there was no draw bridge Glancing up at the walls, I saw more than just stone Hidden in the divots and cracks I could see eyes watching Over the top of the massive walls I could hear whispers Peering as far into windows as my eyes would go, I could see shadows I couldn't make any of it out Just bits and pieces of what my eyes were putting together White doves flew out of a glassless window And I swear I saw balloons floating high above Even thought I heard a few good laughs coming from across the moat I walked all around the castle Keeping only a few feet from the moat There definately was something odd here I noticed those fierce sharks didn't seem so fierce up close Once around to the back, I noticed the door The temptation to peek inside was overwhelming But the question still stood there of how to get in Contemplating for hours I came up with a plan Giggling at my stupididity in this plan, I took my first step There I was, low and behold stepping ever quietly across the shark's backs There was a few times i almost let my laughter get the best of me For what I was doing was nothing but hilarious to believe Then standing before me was the door Oh wow, what a decision I had to make now Believe it or not, I actually knocked But as I expected there was no answer The sounds coming from behind the great walls were getting louder Seems a party was definately going on My excitement and eagerness was building I opened the door and stepped in Relieved to be away from the sharks and ready for the excitement The whispers got louder, the laugher got more often I made my steps faster through the long hall ahead Oh! What fun must be awaiting me! My patience had worn thin as I stepped out of the hall I was so excited as I stepped into .....nothing I walked along the courtyard and I glanced up at the walls I swear I could see eyes in the divots and cracks Over the top of those immense walls I know I heard whispers Even thought I could hear a little bit of laughter here and there And as I shrugged I opened my eyes and continued along my stroll I came upon a picket fence At my feet were cracked sidewalks and dandelions On the other side of the fence I saw lush green grass and pansies I gave myself a chuckle as I strolled on by....

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
