Wishes

Wish I was a snake slithering in the grass or a big black spider on a pane of glass Or a cobweb on the ceiling or a bug on the wall a scarecrow in a field, ten feet tall Wish I was a bee buzzing among the flowers or a puppy in a puddle after a shower I wish I was a rainbow up in the sky or a bird, then away I would fly But I'm just a little girl who wants to be anything else. I just don't want to be me

Marti, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
