This kinda reminds me of the poetry structures we're
forced to emulate in high school. Ya know, the ones
in which each stanza or line follows an identical set
of grammatical schematics?

^_^

And that makes it all the more easy and fun to read.
;P

I get a sense that this is a very intimate portrayal
of your feelings at this moment of your life. Very
honest, and sorta a connection of the dream world to
your comprehensible reality...or something.

Thanks for sharing this piece of you with us. ^_^

Peace out

Being a victim of one's own creativity isn't easy, having to prove yourself because some people find the need to be critical is diffocult too. I felt the emotion coming from this poem strongly, and know the feeling. Wonderful work.

Nicely done. I liked how you broke the rythym(sp?) of the poem with this line:

"Okay, a lavish vacation, once or twice in my lifetime, would be nice"

An effective ending as well.
Cheers.

Genius.
Pure friggin' genius.
This is you, personified.
I can so see this as you, Randi.
Hell, it IS you.
But, wait...
"I don't want fans groping my ankles"
But is it okay if this fan gropes your...you know whats?
Hehe.
Sorry.
Couldn't resist it.
Awesome poem.
If I knew nothing else about you, Randi, this poem would be plenty enough for me to know how good a person you are.
