My imagination often runs wild,
I would close my eyes
To shut off ghosts lurking near my bed,
I would roll a dice
If fears start to dominate my head.
I have read many graphic novels,
I have watched many classical films,
I have juggled marbles,
I have listened to folktales in huge volumes.
Dreams in the red chamber may be fancy,
Witches in a horror movie may be sneaky,
But a fiction is a fiction,
All fictions evoke thrill to produce addiction.
With each clash,
Upon every crash,
Children’s world is enriched in a flash,
Writer are definitely encouraged to make big flash
By letting the creative fire burn to ash.
As a child,
My imagination often runs wild.
I read,
I live,
I grow,
I achieve.
I write,
I share,
I glow,
I care!

The photo at the end really speaks the verse. Very artful, Jingle.

Nice voice of a child in the poem…enjoyed it.
Wonderful…you mean to say, you just saw the prompt and this came to mind?…Talent is natural and you show it with each passing post. Write on, Jingle.
Cheers!
I simply did what you said indeed…
however, I doubt my talent at all…
I simply write what’s coming in mind without looking at other’s work. it is original, but I lack confidence in the piece.
You should not, it is very good Jingle!! I loved it 🙂 x

You have a wonderful imagination – we have to let it run free – it is what helps us grow and helps to grow the world too….thank you as always for contributing to Monday’s Child….blessings..bkm
thanks a ton!
We lose all the fears we have as we grow up and mature. Then some people become caring, happy people. Thanks, Jingle, for caring.
lovely words.
many thanks.

very brilliant jingle. its true, first we read and live because we read. then we share it and help others to live.
fantastic.
have a beautiful weekend.
my well went dry at times…
thanks for filling in some fresh water.
You’re right that fiction can be addictive. It appeals to the subconscious mind’s needs for stories that stem from imagination.
sweet you.
A great read! I wonder sometimes whether that’s the key to writing, to become a child again – just with a few years of experience to input into your mind, to keep the flash as bright as possible.
love your take on the piece.
That was just awesome!!
Glad to see you.

The child speaks. Just lovely …
Poem on, our Ji! 🙂
thanks for the kindness.
The child is still in me, probably in all of us. It keeps us young.
But now we can separate the fiction from reality. Not always fun, though.
nice to see it in you…
have a lovely Sunday, fun and cool.
Childhood flashing through this beautiful poem!
Lovely 😉
May you have a beautiful Fall.
Take care.
Just like you, I love reading fiction, and it does wonder to our creative thinking 🙂
Thank you for sharing this with us!
I think it’s wonderful when a prompt brings forth that kind of wonderful poetry. Great job.
A fantastic poesy here. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Nice poem on the love of books – those adventures within the book covers.
Well rendered poem. Deeply felt stuff. Thanks for it.
This was beautiful, Jingle–oh to have a child’s imagination again!
Love to you…
