Armchair Adventures Poem by Kim Barney
Armchair Adventures
My parents wanted me to be a star,
but all I ever wanted was my books.
My talents couldn't take me very far,
and I was doomed to failure with my looks,
yet I have read of places far and near,
and I have learned of all the lakes and brooks.
My books have taken me to the frontier,
to lands of dragons, kings, and noble knight.
I can be gone a week, a month, a year;
my readings tend to give me much delight.
I've had more pleasure than most anyone;
I read by day and even more by night.
My needs are few, and money have I none,
but all in all, I've had a lot of fun.

Kim, very nice.! ! I rate a 10
You do put yourself to the tasks, , I am far too lazy and would find the structure onerous. congratulations and by the way it ultimately reads very well
Thanks, Hank! Funny thing about this poem: One of the judges in the contest (the one who judged this category) accidentally put the wrong code number on this poem, and it got credited to some lady in Florida! But when she received her check and certificate, she notified NFSPS that she had not written this poem, and two weeks and many phone calls later, it got straightened out and I finally got credit for it!
