Imaginational Reality Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Reaching into imagination, looking for fantasies that I can
contain and write into poetry, finding reality always stand-
ing on the sidelines.

Having me pay attention to it's being as I write continually,
at times making or creating an imaginational reality that I can
deal with in my own way.

Just having fun associating it with the way things really are
in this world, showing the humor just beneath the surface,
causing people to smile or laugh out loud at times.

It all does my heart good as I continue to write of every-
thing in life that touches intellect, tempting it to write
it all into poetry.
