Wow, Mark!! What an awesome post!!! Really Brilliant!! Your lines spotlight exactly what I wonder about – How two people madly in love end up divorced and often hating each other and using their children as pawns!!
Really loved your lines:
the spirit of a senseless marriage took over
by the fate of a ringed finger.
All our romantic expectations,
our hopes, and dreams,
our bright future together,
ending up in misery.
Thanks Mark for trying, I don’t know WHY it doesn’t work… If you still want to enter just write your poem on your reply to this message! As I really want to read it🙏😊
I had a vivid dream at nine,
living by the California coast,
walking down a wide street,
past palm trees and Spanish-style houses.
I marveled at the warmth of the sun,
the clearness of the turquoise sea
and how beautiful the birds-of-paradise were.
Then I woke from the dream
and walked a broken path to school
down a narrow, tree-less North Philly street
with brick homes and abandoned cars on either side.
The sky was cloudy.
The air was stale.
Only the faint breeze coming from the Delaware
reminded me of the Pacific.
Excellent.
Much thanks!!
I like the interplay of movie, fantasy, and real life in your poem.
Thanks, Liz.
Nice one. when I was younger that was a ‘dream’, ‘nightmare’ I often had. 😄
I’m assuming you outgrew it.
Yes and I’m glad I did.

A California Street
I had a vivid dream at nine,
living by the California coast,
walking down a wide street,
past palm trees and Spanish-style houses.
I marveled at the warmth of the sun,
the clearness of the turquoise sea
and how beautiful the birds-of-paradise were.
Then I woke from the dream
and walked a broken path to school
down a narrow, tree-less North Philly street
with brick homes and abandoned cars on either side.
The sky was cloudy.
The air was stale.
Only the faint breeze coming from the Delaware
reminded me of the Pacific.
My god Mark, AMAAAZINNGG!
Oh wow. Just super!
Thank you😘
Well done, Mark!
Thanks, Theresa.
