I don't need a ship to travel around the world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Niña

 

 

My eyes hurt. I needed rest.

 

But there was so much to savor

 

So many riches to quest

 

All those marvels to favor

 

 

That night, I lay in my bed

 

Book-pages spattered with colors

 

Golden, mulberry, crimson red

 

 

The sheets beneath me like Aladdin's carpet

 

Gliding to realms, a peek into dreams

 

Christopher Columbus would envy me.

How lovely! I really love the last two lines.

[Havatara]

It perfectly described the feeling I had when I was younger and reading adventure stories. The naive anticipation, simple excitement, yet still powerful. Well done.

I love this poem. It's magical. That's how I feel when I read a book. They take me to foreign lands and forever alter my soul.

Oh the places we will go.

[Coyote Poetry]

A mind that can dreams and desire great journey. Can go to many places without leaving our bed. A beautiful poem of hope and imagination. Wishes and dreams should be the first step in the accomplishing all the dreams you desire. A excellent poem.
