The Imagination rock by ~free-feather:iconfree-feather:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Open


The boy climbed steadily
up the rough jagged side
of an old rock
deep in the woods

Reaching the top he proudly stood tall
brandishing his stick he cries
"Surrender, or you will die!"

Through his young eyes he sees
the enemy's army
creeping closer
behind him he hears
the warcrys of his men

And as he stands
a top his rock
the armies collide
the clashing of swords
and the pounding of feet

The rock upon which
he oversees the battle
has been worn smooth
by generations of young feet

The feet of generals, actors
singers and dancers
It always waits for its next adventure

The rock of unimaginable possibilities
The imagination rock...

It's late and my brain has gone to sleep but I will try my hardest to write this out properly.

While riding the bus home *squeezes the life out of B for giving her bus fare* an image of an aged rock popped into my head, followed by other images. This poem is my best interpretation of them. Sadly I could not put pen to paper fast enough and the following poem is lacking.

Wow, I love that poem! Fav!
And I'm pretty sure there are quite a few of those rocks out there in the world that could tell the stories of many a child's imagination. Great job!

why thank you! It wasn't until after i wrote it that i discovered that it was about some of the adventures of my oldest friend and I. I think every child has a spot like this, whether it be a rock or a firld or something.
