Childhood Imaginations

Remember when we were little?

The crazy thoughts we think of

We would sit in a circle

And share them all

Laughter would fill the field

It would go on and on and on

Almost all day long

       

Such great imaginations

Priceless fantasies

We'd all achieve with great expectations

That would last for centuries

I remembered how we wanted to be 

A superhero with extraordinary abilities

The U.S. president for as long as we want

A soldier that would serve for the country

A pilot, so that we can travel for free

The God of the Gods, so we can strike lightnings against our enemies

And invent a remote that would take us back in time

Even though it would take all our time

Crazy imaginations of what we want to be

The impossibilities of all impossibilities 

But if we believe, it may become reality

Nothing can stop us of who we want to be

I greatly enjoyed this poem of yours. I know a poem to be a good one when it rapidly inspires me to write another poem somewhat like it. You may have this inspired poem as a gift to keep as your own since you were the muse who provoked it:

Great Expectations

As small children long ago,
we would gather round
a bright campfire’s crackling glow
with tales to expound.

Here our fantasies would grow
into wonders newly found
whereby most of them would show
expectations without bound.

Seriously. People should just fly with their dreams and not listen to the terrible things society and parents tell them they can or can't do.

Thank you for sharing :)

ahhhh such a lovely start for my day!, the hopes of childhood bring to my memories such pleasure, and just a secret, i still dream of such things, call me a child but meh.
this is a great poem, it made me smile, and it is written with perfection.
brilliant!

You are quite the writer. I like how you capture the moment. I remember wanting to be Superman when everyone else wanted to be a doctor or vet, I was 6 then. An excellent read and write.

What a great little poem :) An interesting and nostalgic view of childhood, you're writing style feels a little bit like it's restrained...I feel like perhaps your style might lend itself more to spoken word poetry rather than to the written form, simply because you have a style and subject matter with people can relate to...Here's what I mean:

If you get the chance, listen to this guy :) I feel like this poem you've written could be stretched out into something similar...But I really enjoyed reading it, well done :) !
