Imaginings do conjure thoughts of wonderment and dreams,
But in truth it is imagining that tear you from your seams.
To risk a flight of fancy and invest in stargazed longing,
Guarantees you nothing more than reality's sharp slogging.
Before you let your mind a play on things you wish or pray,
Remember what this girl for told upon this very day.
Never think you've found your chance secured a better deal,
As the devil's are the ones who command this roulette wheel.
I don't speak of fork tailed demons or such fatuous ideas,
The wicked one's who'll sup your dreams wear suits and ties and leers.
Walk guarded and with caution and resist a magic thought,
It's just the wicked and a damned with which the evil ones consort.
This week's steemit poetry contest theme is Imagination.
Check it out. Last week's winning entries were amazing.
