Float Away

Hope you don't gag.

Take a gander here!

I've got a new product for you-

This isn't your everyday marketing scam

This, my friend, is new.

It fulfills your hopes and dreams

Releases all of your previous inhibitions

And lets you fly.

That's right folks- I've got a flying machine!

No wings

No balloons

No

Strings

Attached

Would you like to take a peek?

Well, here's a mirror. Look closely.

That's all you see, isn't it? It's you.

"I can't fly!"

That's what you think, dear.

For you see, I am no ordinary con artist.

I am a creator of dreams, an eradicator of fears

I am whatever you need.

I am hope.

I'm that warm feeling you get

When you hug your lover

When you dance in the rain

When you are happy

And have found a true high

Would you like to buy?

Have I convinced you?

Would you like a free sample?

You've already taken it.

You say you cannot fly;

But have you ever truly tried?

Author's Note

I couldn't really find a better way to structure it. I'm pretty okay with it (for a first attempt).

Oh, this is wonderfully done! The structure works perfectly...My favorite part, though, is that we are left wondering if this carnival barker, hawking this product, hope, is a charlatan or a hero. Is hope the light that makes life shine, or is it a lie?
Brilliant!

I like the desire to bring someone in to a idea. I like the the strong statements trying to draw the person into a dream or con? Last lines made the poem complete. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

I love this! It made me laugh at first, because I find the word "gander" to be strangely funny, but it has a great meaning behind it and a unique style. Great job. Thank you.
