swimming in the stars

A silly poem mostly, who knows?

swimming in the stars

 

when I dream

I dream of swimming

in a sea of stars

far off in another galaxy

to the left of mars

far away from

country western and

heavy metal bars

 

it is place where

my hands and feet

drift away from me

slowly and webbed

frog fins replace them

 

my life is happy

swimming amongst

the shooting stars

a place where men

can never hurt

me ever again

 

an ocean of quietness

surrounds me as I

swim around gracefully

brutal men don't

crush me and hurt or

bother me there

they are not allowed

 

I go to float around

and  think

I can twirl and whirl

around as much as

I like until I turn

bright pink

 

swimming amongst the

stars is a better place

to live for me

far away from

stupid men

 

 

Author's Note

I wrote this last year. I'm in a very different place in my life. I still like the idea of this poem. Aside from outcasting men, it's a dreamy poem. Writing this poem brought me to my happy place instantly.

Very cute and fanciful, a very nice dream piece indeed. The only real aspects of nonsense poetry that I could pick up though are "slowly and webbed / frog fins replace them" and "until I turn / bright pink." But it has a nice message and flow. I enjoyed the imagery and reading it. Very pretty. The color changes didn't bother me too much either. Nice flow.

Though I do enjoy being in the company of people there is nothing like being alone sometimes and letting the serene surroundings be your guide... really beautiful work... I feel a sense of peace just reading it.

Yes, this is very dreamy. And I can understand the outcasting men bit...I wrote a man-hating rant three years ago and it still makes me wonder just what I was thinking at the time.
