WINNING POEM

Curiosity,
Curiosity killed the cat, so they say,
I lay in my chair one restless day,
Then I learnt curiosity hit me like a sudden wild waterfall.

Questions whirled through my head,
A violent breeze of fascination and fantasy,
What if on another land there was another family,
In another world different to what we call reality.

A square planet built on dreams,
Inside them, twenty mysterious families,
Dark nights or wooshy trees,
A tropical paradise or ruins of a gloomy landscape.

Feelings not real,
Just mums with clueless faces,
Daydreaming dads in airy fairy places.
One big mix up to me and you.

Grannies just blank,
Grandfathers plain as fish in a tank,
What can I say about my imagination,
It runs away with me like the thoughts of all of our nation.
