Wave of Fantasy

The 11-winged horse 
Ate cupcakes through the night.
Growing up my father 
Telling me, "I love you."
The bullfrog won a 3rd term 
As leader of the free world.
My mother lost her temper 
And grabbed me hard by the arm.
Young unicorns sat behind booths 
Outside groceries selling horn scout cookies.
My older brother used words 
That me me feel good about myself.
Jellybean waterfalls.
Me knowing how cars work.
Talking dandelions spouting 
Pollen with every breathe.
Me hugging my sister 
Murmuring genuine praise.
Heart-shaped clouds 
Drizzling raspberry lemonade.
Me never being afraid.
