I’m at Lucidity Poetry Workshop/Retreat this week. It’s a fun event – if you aren’t here, why not?
I was still in my ‘Going to Oz’ mindset, and wrote this on my way up to the workshop.
Wanderlust
I wish I really had a pair
of Dorothy’s scarlet shoes.
I’d click my heels and I could be
in any place I choose.
I’d never wait for liv’ryed guards,
No schedule would I keep.
No travel agents’ fees to pay.
Like walking in my sleep!
There’d be no sea I couldn ‘t cross,
no land I’d never see
I’d discover worlds that have been lost
and new ones, yet to be.
But since the local shops don’t stock
Miss Dorothy’s shoes of red,
I have to stick to native trails,
and wear my plain white Keds.

awww…thanks Diane. Starting for
home in a little while….
