Do I dare to share my illusion?
will my idle thoughts and images
serve to spread confusion?
How much of what I see is real
when will these numbers find appeal
shall thoughts and wishes be a waste
yet sufficient to tempt my tastes
Are all the pictures made just mine
can some one make a better shrine
let the masses join with me
to share my personal imagery
The world may not be ready yet
but my illusions shall not forget
that life's realities may control
but these illusions are mine to hold.

Poetry: Illusions
by Elaina Wicks
Illusions
Are we but a number,
another digit in the dust.
Surround ourselves with clutter,
having possession is a must.
Striving
The shortest way is not always the best
The most laborious might be far from zest
What seems fair often brings
I feel myself fading away
Slipping farther into the unknown
Soon there will be nothing left
And I will be forever alone
When
by John Wiseley
What Big Eyes
Once upon a midnight bleary
While I stumbled drunk but cheery
I listened left and listened right
My eyes were
You ask me to notice the bloom of roses in spring.
To feel the rain and soft breeze on my cheeks.
Enjoy the sweet smell
