    Strolling Along Reality's Avenue
    Strolling Along Reality’s Avenue

    Strolling along reality avenue
    Amazed at the sights your eyes come to view
    So many warning signs that you see
    On the avenue of reality

    Signs of many colors bright
    But you must view them through shades of insight
    The signs are the people you may meet
    Also strolling along Reality street

    Some are in a hurry and never seem to stop
    While others walk along with countenance dropped
    Yet some walk along the cobblestones joyfully
    Of the avenue of reality

    Their eyes shopping for bargains galore
    In the windows of many a reality store
    But most items that meet the eye
    The price to own them seem way too high

    The food for thought can be quite nutritious
    The aromas emanating from the mind’s café… delicious
    So many things to experience and do
    While walking along reality avenue

    The hills and valleys as you make your way
    Along reality avenue to life’s expressway
    Can sometimes become gridlocked with high emotion
    From high indifference to extreme devotion

    And each new day brings a change
    From the familiar to the strange
    Enhancing the traveling you do
    Strolling along Reality’s Avenue

    H. Wilson

    What if the world was perfect, there were no challenges all writers wrote alike, we all got up on the same side of the bed, our sons and daughters were no different than us. Hell if the world was perfect I'd have to move to the world where peaches and cream existed only in the imagination. Pardon me friend my fingers took over and I just couldn't stop them. Thank you for sharing your poetry is a pure delight. LOL, BDC

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
