You never care what time it is
For time is not your friend
You need to have control of me
Till your passion finds its end
Whoa Vance, your rhyming is amazing, it gives your poems so much depth, your words ring a bell while reading, I feel I can never stop reading through you. You are unique in your kind. A deep philosopher who creates philosophy to be read by all of us, especially me, I am so happy for you, and for me. I find you my friend who knows how much I suffer, yet, I fill my time with writing, and reading. Much love Vance. Bless you. Terry xoxo

Dudemanguy: your name alone discloses a lot about how serious (or not) that you take life's experiences and I'd vote that you spend a serious amount of time in the "what-if" sector of the galaxy....I think I've seen you there often...and hope to again! Vance

I must say that I take most everything seriously. I try not to look at things just one way, even the good & bad, everything has it's reason.

Comment from adewpearl
excellent use of abcb rhyming
I like the personification of fantasy
good alliteration of fantasy is freedom
great illustrative examples like the orange apples that don't need peeling
mashed potatoes that needs soil - potatoes that need
a delightful closing in this poem examining the nature of fantasy :-) Brooke

Comment from robina1978
Excellent poem to complement your poem. I think, cause it is fantasy about fantasy I found it difficult to understand. But it sounds nice.

Thanks Robina: it is always a delight to hear from you and I'm sorry you found this a bit confusing ... but the bottom line is; I'm relating fantasy to creativity to poetry. Cheers! Vance
Comment from Preston McWhorter
Hi, Vance,
I agree with the previous rating that this is an exceptional poem but in order award six stars I have to agree with its message. "Fantasy" seems to me to be saying that fantasy is better than reality, work and rational thought. To me it is a pleasure that should be indulged in in moderation.

Preston: thanks for your feedback and perspective. I certainly agree with you that rational thought must prevail to enable reality to be manifested while I see fantasy as a "what-if" exercise that gets one out of the box and challenging the new concept to make it meet reality mandates. We do agree I believe. Many thanks, Vance

Excellent. I Believe that fantasy has many uses.
Comment from michaelcahill
I think that is why we don't age. There is just too much "Young" inside of us to allow it. Loved the flow of both the words and thoughts of this one. Lets face it, the so-called real world is a big disappointment. I am much more interested in this gray world right here that you describe, mikey

Comment from seaglass
This is a very creative, rhyming poem. You might have written it from my mind. I am the fantasy queen, after all. "Like a garden of orange apples, That you never have to peel". Yep, everything is perfect in my "Special Place."

So beautifully done, I have read it several times. One of my favorites is the power ball lottery and how much I will give to my friends and charity. The, goddam reality rears its head.
