magic of a splendorous kind
a world of cornucopic wonder
treasure troves of dreams to plunder
in this voyage of my mind
by fantasy’s elaboration
through stars of wonder I ascend
soar in sweet hallucination
in ships of my imagination
oh, would this voyage but never end

Hi! I’m Edgrrr, rob’s shih tzu.
I love the gorgeous rhyming, and what it says.
And thank you for the tip to Blogger bloggers. I’ll check my settings at once.
Hmm, what you suggest doesn’t seem to apply. Perhaps it is what would apply in a WordPress blog? All our settings allow for is to choose whether comments can come from anyone, from google account holders only, or only from members of the blog.
What works for me is to allow ‘Anyone’ and moderate comments to control the inevitable spam. Maybe some Blogger bloggers are unwittingly set to include only comments from people with Google accounts?
Thank you for checking Rosemary. I am able to comment on your site because it allows me to use my name and URL address fir verification of my comment. 🙂
Thank you Rosemary, Very much. 🙂
absolutely delightful, our mind is the most wondrous thing and so few dare to sincerely explore it … enjoy!
Thank you Kate. Looking inward can be daunting at times, but it can also prove very rewarding… 🙂
The voyage shall go on — this fantastic spell is so well portrayed, Rob. I can certainly relate with it. 🙂
Thank you Anmol, I hope it continues well beyond the mortal realm, when I finally reach the destination of my skyship, as I have shared with Björn.
From one imagination to another: Gather your thoughts, feel them, then write them down.
My thoughts never quite gather so much Sara, and they cluster in a stream of consciousness – from this I select linear strands of ideas and images…
I love the way you have used the rhymes, and I would love to be dreaming like this.
Thank you Björn, I am pleased you liked this. I have slways had an extremely vivid imagination. Even as a child I had a very rich fantasy life, cultivated as an escape from a very difficult childhood.
Wonderful stuff, whimsical, metaphysical and profound.
I don’t know what classic form you used with abaab rhuyme scheme, but your rhymes blend, and do not seem forced; kudos, pal.
Thank you Glenn, your feedback is very much appreciated, and it means a lot! A fact you might find interesting. I do not like poems written with a form in mind. I almost never write to a form. However, rhythm and rhyme do find their way into my pieces at times – but it is more a spontaneous occurrence. It has been that way for me ever since I began writing lyrics to my band’s songs back in the 1960’s. I can’t begin to tell you if or what classic rhyme pattern I may have mimicked – it just begged to be written this way.
Beautiful, I love where these ‘ships of my imagination’ take you.
Thank you Xenia! 🙂
I love a bit of magic, Rob, and your poem has taken me to a fantasy world, which is just what I need at the moment!
I am glad this resonated so well with you, Kim – my pleasure to help! 🙂
I love every bit of your poem, Rob. “treasure troves of dreams to plunder” then us readers get the joy of seeing what you build with them as they shine.
Thank uou Jade, you are genuinely most kind. I am pleased you enjoyed this…! 🙂
P.S. Just watched the video. I’m not sure how they can create these images, but they look like another world that is maybe underwater or out in space or in another dimension. We do not know what is beyond this place, but maybe it could be like what’s on this video…
Hi Jade. It is all done with mathmatical calculation written in complex lines of code in the virtual domain of the computer. This video exists only in the computer, and once they have the structural msth snd code determined, it becomes essentially an infinite progression, non- duplicating. It truly is another world separate from our physical realm.
I’m soaring with you through stars of wonder and hallucination! A great write with the perfect illustration.
Thank you Lillian, I appreciate your kind words!
Nice line: “treasure troves of dreams to plunder”
Thank you Frank. 🙂
you are an adventurer at heart – I love ships (sunken ships on the tv shows searching for treasures fascinate me) so comparing your imagination with a ship is awesome – totally at the mercy of the elements – unpredictable but exciting for sure.
I love adventure, discovery, mystery – it all lights my imagination ablaze! I am do drawn to water, boats, ships – I find it all wonderful Margaret!
I love where this took you – ships of my imagination!
Thank you Grace, I am glad you liked this!:-)
Imaginations…aren’t they wonderful? Love your creativity!
Yes Mary, imaginations change the world. I am pleased this resonated for you… 🙂
The gift of a vivid imagination is truly a blessing! Your creative mind unfurls in this poem with wonderful rhymes and rhythm. I found the fractal journey fascinating too…thanks for sharing 🙂
You are welcome Lynn, I am very pleased you enjoyed my post! 🙂
Those ships of the imagination are the best!
They are splendid Kerfe! 🙂
And in particular that last line, resonates like a tuning fork in my heart.
I am pleased it resonates for you Paul! 🙂
Keep those thoughts flowing!
For certain Ken! 🙂
Truly, a masterpiece of creativity and diction, Rob. Too many days, I find myself, lacking these qualities, in my own writing.
They can be elusive at times, but thankfully they seem to remain Therisa! 🙂
This a very rich piece, Rob, I can feel you luxuriating in the language and rhyme…well done..JIM
Thank you Jim! It was a very satisfying pirce to write, once I zond in on the creation.
I love the ‘fantasy’ of your words. I felt like I was on a magic carpet ride ????
Thank you Christine, I am pleased this resonated for you… 🙂
What a great ride it has been and still is…………!!
Yes it certainly is Dwight, and I am grateful.
