Yvette’s prompt: Elsewhere
With so much chaos in the world, let’s step away from reality and imagine something entirely new. Create a poem that explores a fictional world—utopian or dystopian, your choice. This world must be wholly imagined and not reflect the current reality we live in. Let your imagination run freely.
Freedom, without 'conditions apply' Notice
Is there such a world—
Where I can fly without wings?
Where I can sing the songs welling up in my heart, without enduring the taunt that my voice is unworthy of song?
Where my dancing soul find the opportunity to express itself, unhindered by any rules or laws?
Where I have the freedom to give voice to the emotions surging within my inner self, without any bonds?
Freedom, without ‘conditions apply’ notice
To borrow colours from butterflies
and fragrance from flowers,
to sway in joy with playful bumblebees;
To borrow moisture from the clouds
and playfulness from the wind,
and to dance upon the ocean, moving in rhythm with the waves;
To steal moonlight from the moon
and darkness from the night,
and to dance across the sky amidst the stars;
To borrow sweetness from the cuckoo,
weaving songs of joy,
and to join with everyone in singing sweet melodies.
