The Poets Park by Steve.D.Hammond.

Where Reality Ends.

Suspended at doors of rigid,
well-defined
thought reclines whimsy,
which poets like me
welcome and use to unglue
rusted minds.
We free them to delight in fantastic
imagery.
Not caring where reality ends,
wonder will notice
the newly-sewn gossamer wing
of muse
and make-believe dreams,
understood
as pretence, but real to romantics
like me, clinging
to ethereal realms.
Love, idealized
gives vision clearer views,
and fancy includes
passionate themes, imagination
finally
wins, - - Utopia then becomes
no illusion.

The line between pretense and truth is as illusive as the poems that stir within the soul. This fascinating piece reveals the enigma that is the creative well-spring and the uplifting voice that poets often uncover in order to 'unglue rusted minds'. I can see why you have chosen this poem for your 'selected poems' list. Impressive writing indeed. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
