Hope no one minds if I join in the fun.
Storybook Road
Yes, I've been down Storybook Road, Long ago when I was much younger, Turn right just past the Lake of Mirrors You'll be glad cause it's so much fun there. The people dress in colors like rainbows And the music plays so sweetly all day, While high on the hilltop one finds silence It's no problem if you chose to steal away. We all drank a golden brew cool hearty That sent a tingle from your head to your toe And we laughed so long & hard our sides hurt As I look back I wonder why I had to go. I recall the splendor of those sunlit days How it seemed dreams somehow came alive, On the cobbled streets of Storybook Road Where it crosses Happiness Drive. |

| Hey Dan, I dunno how come I missed your Storybook road...I'm glad I found it though, it's very good, the perfect metaphor for the land of dreams, away from the reality of the real world. Bloody good job, well done. Be Happy Graeme | Posted on 2005-09-11 00:00:00 | by wewak11 | [ Reply to This ] | Hi Dan. first of all sorry for not commenting on your poems for so long.

I think this title has brought out the Peter Pan in all of us. Such dreamers we are. I absolutely love cobblestone streets. Great job here, Dan. You have given your inner child the space he needed. Read mine for a different slant, if you have time. | Carol | Posted on 2005-08-30 00:00:00 | by wannabe1 | [ Reply to This ] | This was awesome ya ol' hippie!
