Dragon Dreams

Hope you enjoy this bit of escapism!

Travel back in your mind to a time long before,
of childhood fantasy behind a locked door,
of musical dragons and purple mountains,
pegasus horses and honey fountains,
chocolate caves and serene blue sea,
of flying high on a soft warm breeze,
tumble on tender emerald grass and
pick the daisies of memories past,
shimmering sunshine everywhere,
laughter and fun without a care,
fairies dancing and animals singing,
magical melodies forever lingering,
golden jewelled sands to tickle your toes,
rock pools of wonder with secrets untold,
so lest we forget what childhood means,
journey once more into the valley of dreams.

Wonderfull!! You maintain a calm flow through the entire poem. Painting up a beautiful picture, wonderful language, really good.

Escapism indeed - but my childhood wasn't quite as idyllic as this suggests. Some good images, but I found it hard to connect. I think this is quite a personal poem, and while I can see its merit, for the above reason I can't empathise. 
 
Don't worry. You can't please everybody all of the time. 
 
All the best, Phil.

Absolutely gorgeous piece of poetry! some beautiful images, well put together, vivid, great rhythm. The only lines that didn't flow were : 
 
laughter and fun without a care, 
fairies dancing and animals singing 
 
but overall a great read well done

Thank you for the above comments. It is really nice to get some feedback. The poem for me was to show that imagination is the ability to take oneself off to a completely different place without restriction or limits. I realise that not everyone's childhood is idyllic but the imagination can be used in countless ways and hopefully a positive one. For me if just one of the poems I write makes someone smile rather than frown then I will be happy! Thanks again for the lovely words! :grin :grin xxx
