Stretch Your Imagination (A Poem)

By Joyce Jacobo

[Author’s Note: A short and simple piece about being as creative as possible, and seeking to inspire others to do the same.]

Stretch your imagination.

Extend it past the boundaries

defined by reality and the mundane.

Fantasize about impossibilities made true

then craft each one in careless abandon

yet thoughtful awe.

Unleash them one step at a time to forge a new pathway

and guide wonderstruck visitors among your many creative visions.

Finally…

encourage other dreamers

to pave their own ways forward

as you cheer for their progress.
