Unleash Your Fancy

     Could you fly with me to far away lands

take a trip & hold my hand 

an island's getaway escape 

      where sands are malachite

         & burnt cinnabar

let's depart the mundane 

              to tango or light a fandango 

unleash your imagination,

bare your soul, take the plunge

            dance with me over the edge

     to see the azure moon

       it's crystal clarity filled

            with knowledge of the ages

  take a flight of fancy to a celestial sanctuary

   where pewter wine runs in canals

we'll dip our feet

      and watch the sun rise magenta 

     a purple haze that tickles the senses

wander this world of plenty

    & sense the sea glistening

a majestic tale of lapis lazuli 

     and mystical spells

spill your ingenuity loose on

 Mt Everest's snowcaps

    we'll sweep a path to the south of France 

smother baguettes with real butter

 and drink wisteria wines

       or we could just sit here and pass the time 

drink razzmatazz liqueurs

                made with thunder & lime

then sip each other's sweet nectar

oh hell yes, i am most definitely your huckleberry! who's paying for this grand shindig? can i use my visa card? frieda, this is beautiful. the imagery is exquisite and the metaphor is ...well...a lot of the poem. i love the whole idea of this beautiful fantasy getaway. one of your best recent writes.....

[Frieda P]

That's the best part, it's free huckleberry! Glad you've come along on my wild fantasy...thanks so much, woo best...big squishy hug for you!

[SimpleMind]

Haha what a wonderful write!! I want to spend my summer like this...haha if only! Love love love this one! Great as always!

[KAOlmsted]

I tumbled down this write, and envied those who have synesthesia because I have such a strong desire right now to taste every color and smell every sound...truly amazing imagery.

[Frieda P]

So odd that you should say the kimmer, someone only just asked me that same question earlier, smelling every second sounds like a plan though! Thanks so much....x

[KAOlmsted]

Huh...funny little world ;-) Always my pleasure!

[Deuces]

Sounds like the trip of my dreams. Knowing me, I would probably never come back. Awesome piece... the imagery takes you to the scene. I just booked a flight to NY a few minutes ago. Now, I wish I booked a flight to Bermuda :)

Awesome. Much needed.

[Frieda P]

I think they have razzamatazz liquers in NYC, have fun! Thanks Cyn. ;-)

[Deuces]

Believe me... I will have no problem finding fun beverages. Thanks!

[Frieda P]

Hahaha I didn't think so, just saying! ;-P

[Sheila Kline]

Wow, I want to go there and...... like NOW!!! Oh my, you had me riding in my gondola at the pewter wine in the canals!
Your words have me caught in a spell of "wisteria wine, and real butter, and razzmatazz liqueurs"!! I want to slide down the snowcaps of Mt Everest, and skip to France!!!
Suppose that might wear me out to pass out before all the lovely drinking????
Kidding aside...........I LOVE IT!!!!

[Frieda P]

Ha, a woman with as much spunk as you, I highly doubt that Sheila!! Thanks I always love reading your reviews....!

[Claire Twinn]

I love the jumble of magical imagery here, a glorious celebration of life's possibilities.

[Frieda P]

That means a lot coming from you Claire, with your sense of imagination and storytelling!

[Barbara Walker]

Your word choices greatly influence the pace of this piece. I found it to be a fun write. I liked it so much, I read it five times! Love-'We'll sweep a path to the south of France"
"Let's depart the mundane to tango or light a fandango." great lines! Great rhythm and flow!

[Frieda P]

Whoa, you read it more times than me! Lol, thanks so much Barbara....

[Victoria Everly]

This was lovely. The descriptions applied to all 5 senses and had real soul in it. If that makes sense haha.. Anyway, I really enjoyed this. Hope to see more.

I truly sit here and wonder as I read this what is honestly going through your mind as you write. You ahve wings Frieda and you fly us everywhere we can imagine. Your words are the wind that lifts us to soar off to anywhere we choose to be. I loved this and really would like to know the picture in your mind.
