Fantasy Poems
The Sole Witness
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Aiken Drum lived a very long time ago, in days of sweetest nostalgia,
And his parents told amazing stories; when rose danced with dahlia!
Aiken was captivated by the myths and the legends, waking fancies,
Notably the tale of the man in the moon; like pearls of night's ease!
In each telling, he feigned to be, the celebrated "man in the moon,"
As imagination rises from impetus, and hearing mind's whimsy tune.
Aiken Drum enjoyed fruits of friendship, and the ways summer flies;

Sun Chased the Moon
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Daphne and Mark were married two years, and had a baby named Cheryl.
She was the golden sunshine of each morn, and each dusk's lustrous pearl.
Those were glorious, prismatic days, when sun naturally chased pale moon;
And in the heart of the vivacious country, as trees held tunes, of leafy June.
Daphne had always loved exquisite poetry, and yearned to create it herself;
And planned to do so one day, because dreams shouldn't be left on a shelf.
Croaking frogs told of passing footfalls, as friends came, in fetching colors.

On Sunflower Road
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Daisy Bell lived in the fruitful countryside, eldest of three siblings;
Like a lemony day just ended, and jet night, of red sky beginnings.
So close to her parents and siblings, like scent clinging to flowers,
She loved living sweet country life, of gold, sunlit, treasured hours.
Redbirds sang about high-rise life, in trees, with blooms, crowded;
Where rooster crows noted cool dawn, and red mists ehshrouded.
Daisy Bell was in love with John, a mechanic who had big dreams;

A Good Outlook
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
I was once something of a pessimist, and that fact did not concern me,
As violet birds are content, to spend their nights in different trees.
Still I had a happy and quiet existence, or at least I thought I did,
Like a moon glimmering all her tranquil life, when reddish sun is hid!
My attitude didn't come from bitterness, I just had an analytical mind;
And like bees searching for nectar, needed all the proof I could find.
But I totally missed the fact, that looking to tomorrow requires faith,

Don't Ask
by Kara Prince
I didn’t read for book club this week,
But I am glad I went.
They asked if there were any questions I was glad I didn’t know the answer to.
I have no idea what that had to do with the reading,
But as I walked home, I wondered if the blue hybrid with a fender sleeve would be waiting for me.
For six blocks, you could’ve come back to me,
Over four turns, three rights and a left,
My heart had hope, and my mind thought only of forgiveness.
My twelve-minute fantasy ended with an answer,
One I wish I didn’t have.

If the Shoe Fits
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Angelica was thirteen years old, and 8th grade graduation was nearing;
Like scarlet lilies and the song of blue jays, just ahead, in grassy clearing.
Her school would be having its celebration, in orange excitement days;
And her family would all be attending, everyone lost in happiness haze!
Angelica's school would also hold an assembly, with talk of high hopes;
And their principal and many others would speak, like acorns, to tall oaks!
Her friends found themselves elated, too, for they'd graduate, together;

It's in the Cards
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Sally Ann had long yearned for a dog, as smoky desert longs for rain.
Sally Ann was nearly twelve years old, like noontides of glossy refrain.
She lived out in the pretty country, with both parents, an only child;
And waked daily to robin singing, on the lanes where sun first smiled.
She was happy and a bright student, like the caramel stars, twinkling;
On the edge of the summer solstice, when onyx night's still lingering.
Friendly feet, on fuchsia days, ran fleetly, as they joined in joyful races,
