F*****G IMAGINATION

Ive been thinking ...

Is my imagination
a gift or a curse?

You see the other day
this guy told me

Maybe you scare men off
cause after they read your poetry
they think your imagination is better

That they wont live up to your expectations

What a load of s**t
if you ask me

Cause the funny thing is
I have no expectations
 
Truth be told

Id give up my imagination
and YES Id give up poetry

For just one real
tangible touch
of reality

You see anything
would be better
than my

F*****G
IMAGINATION

Because

Because it would
be real

Is my imagination a gift or a curse? ..... To me it feels like both

'the poet, the lunatic and the lover are of imagination all compact' (Shakespeare)... the mind makes the physical real... though you express so well the frustration of mental f*****g that cannot find real fulfillment - but then it does not experience real disappointment... :-)

I believe its a blessing and a gift. You have such a talent and if people cant see that you can put ur imagination aside when the right time does arrive then its their loss!

[Coyote Poetry]

The real truth. Imagination is the key. We must have desire to have need. The thoughts and plan of making love or a great journey allowed us to swim with imagination to create a place we want to be. Your poetry could scare a fearful man. A wise man would be content to have a woman filled with energy and imagination. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

Reality isnt fun without some imagination. Personally I think it's quite boring without it. You end up taking things way to seriously and never really having any fun. I think having an imagination is a gift. Great personal write.
