Child’s Mind

Of pixie dust and scary ghouls,
My world, my rules..
Real fantasies,
Dark galaxies.

There is magic all around you,
Plus luring views..
Nothing's absurd,
Psyche altered.

This is my childhood reverie,
Daft mystery..
Enigmatic,
Charismatic!

This post is written in response to OctPoWriMo Challenge – where you’ll write a “POEM” everyday for 31 days, using the prompt word. Follow this link to learn more about it, see other submissions, and to share your own. Come and join in the fun folks!

DAY 2 prompt is – CHANGELING.

A child believed to have been secretly substituted by fairies for the parents’ real child in infancy.
In the shadows, did you ever secretly wish you were someone else, either as a child or an adult? Free write for ten minutes asking yourself that question and see where it leads, dive into the darkness. Take pieces from that and create a poem.

Suggested Form – MINUTE POETRY. 

The Minute Poem is rhyming verse form consisting of 12 lines of 60 syllables written in strict iambic meter. The poem is formatted into 3 stanzas of 8,4,4,4; 8,4,4,4; 8,4,4,4 syllables. The rhyme scheme is as follows: aabb, ccdd, eeff.

PS – Read my previous OCTPOWriMo entries at – 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
