Daydreaming
I wish I had a strawberry tree
surrounded with fields of (truly) golden wheat
from which I fashion choker and crown,
gracefully settle upon queenly chair,
linen-draped table adorned with china
awaits a feast; at my feet, a mighty lion
(kitty wants in on this wish too!)
and why not, a fountain for Grecian flair.
A bouquet of Juliet roses graces my table,
and cherries jubilee with crystal goblets
offering trifles and cheesecakes, meringues,
mousse, parfaits...
dessert before the main, for this is my fancy,
my pleasure for which I think I'll forget to pinch
and awake, sink into it as I ignore storm clouds
of laundry, dishes, beds, and more...
