You challenge me to stretch
my mind like taffy,
so it only gets sweeter,
and stronger ,
allowing me to flex
my literary muscles.

Taking normal words
to another level;
from the sea floor,
to the beach,
to Mount Everest's tip,
To as far as the Earth's gravitational field.

Then I'll drop you back,
to your reality.
Away from images,
that can take you as far as the moon,
with it's craterous surface calling to you.

Be that as is may,
you can visit me again
and we will take a tour,
of another new land,
or experience.

Are you ready?
To the poets, critics, and teachers that challenge me daily, almost yelling at me, "Write me something stronger!" My first poem talking to my reader about poetry, kind of an echo based on the writing style I noticed by a pretty amazing poet on this site. They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery. I hope this poet feels that way.
side note: I wonder if the person, that inspired this will know it? I hope so. Happy Writing :)
