Fabulous Fantasy Contest - 38 Lines - Prompt #1 - July 2023 |
It was a wild ride; this dream I had; Emerging inside my head were many Dragons. With a pirate's anchor guiding The sea, they came out from the water Chewing bubble gum, as the boat sailed On by. Waving all eight arms frantically About, an octopus seemed angry when it Appeared within sight. This scene was Causing the waves to rise high above the Ground. Trying to get through, I was splishing and Splashing about; I caused an uproar so loud that it created quite a raucous. Everybody knew something strange and weird was coming up from out of the sea. Was this an actual reality, or wasn't it? If it wasn't real, I couldn't partake of it. If it were real, I couldn't believe it. Why on earth couldn't I find some relief? It was just a dream that made me sing. Two mermaids jumped from the water; As they danced around the shower curtain, it was a certainty that the storm stirred them Up. This fantasy gave me a wild ride; it Took me to places I'd never been; until now, I couldn't decipher the differences between Us; it would pave the way to lasting happiness that's here to stay. Able to deter us from all wrongs, we'll be Stronger, you will see. When we run for candidacy, we'll remember this fantasy. Allowing this monstrosity to enter my dreams, Isn't what it seems; it's a way of escape. With all sorts of gladness, our smiles will be beaming; it will be the end of all the madness. A wild ride, this fantasy of mine; even though it blasted me out of reality, it was great While it lasted, I knew that it was only a dream. Written by Anna Marie Carlson Friday, July 14, 2023 |
