Fancy Cars Poem by Valerie Dohren
Fancy Cars
Fancy cars and diamond rings
Silken gowns and sparkly things
Chains of gold and follies grand
Mansions built on feudal land
Never wanted all above
All I really want is love
Pearls a-hanging round my throat
Leather skins and fur-lined coat
Rubies, sapphires, emeralds green
With such things I won't be seen
Never wanted all above
All I really want is love
Pretentiousness is such a farce
Those with poles stuck up their …..
Showing off their ill gained wealth
Much of it acquired through stealth
Never wanted all above
All I really want is love
Simple things are much preferred
Watching close a little bird
How he feeds his family
Singing high upon a tree
All I want are those above
Brought to me through nature's love
Listening to a trickling brook
Reading through a poet's book
Lovely music in the air
Perfumed flowers, sweet and fair
All I want are those above
Brought to me through nature's love
Nature's gems have greater worth
Set upon our precious earth
Diamonds glist'ning in the sand
More beautiful than on the hand
All I want are those above
Brought to me through nature's love
Brought to me through nature's love ……..

Valerie, A voice from the past here. The one star should be 5! The site gets it wrong. Love this poem with its beautiful, non contrived, imaging. Many new descriptions with no clichés on board. I haven't posted for some years - the muse still visits but less frequently. Best wishes and thank you.
