My Imaginary Life 2

It’s all in my head

this imaginary life

imposing itself

in its form

upon the universe.

This imaginary life

flies from the brain

onto page after page

tweaking your own

imaginary life.

Thus you write your own

tome of a life imagined

in line and verse.

And the universe

remembers.

    Ron, there is so much in this poem. Indeed, we get inspired by other writers. We imagine their words and create our own pieces. The cycle goes on. "Thus you write your own
    tome of a life imagined
    in line and verse."This resonates.

    Beautiful poem. I especially like that last line… "and the universe remembers." Thank you!

    Hi Ron!  Really nice poem! And I love the interconnectedness in it — like with "this imaginary life…tweaking your own imaginary life."  And "the universe remembers" makes my spirit soar.

    Thank you all so much. And to think I really wasn't sure I liked this one all that well!
