Welcome To My Oz

Let me take you to a land
Of reality, not make believe,
A place I plan to stay
A place I'll never leave.
A place that I envision
It's my own little Oz,
Come, let me tell you about it
Just because...

I don't dream about Munchkins
Or a good or a bad with,
I don't look down on little people
Or call women a *****.
I don't see a poppy field
Or a land of green,
But I will get to the point
And tell you what I mean...

When it comes to being a Scarecrow
Who wished he had a brain,
He's better off not having one
To not think through the pain.
The pain from a lost love
Wondering where to start,
He'd get back up on that stand
If he had any smarts.

Now being the Tin Woodman
Who only wanted a heart,
He wanted to feel love again
And to feel the rhythm start.
He knew one day it would break
And in time, it would mend,
I'd rather not have a heart
So it wouldn't happen again.

The Cowardly Lion wanted courage
So that he could be brave,
He wanted to be the King of Beasts
A world he could save.
Of the three, he lived and breathed
He had a heart and brain,
The courage that he wanted
Could help him through the pain.

Without a brain, heart or courage
I wouldn't have to feel,
A broken heart or discouragement
Which they need to heal.
My brain wouldn't have to think
Of my Dorothy leaving me,
I wouldn't be buried in the memories
Of what used to be.

I don't have to click my heels
So I can get back home,
I'm already there
By myself and all alone.
I don't have an Aunt Em
Or the Uncles three,
Just me and my dog Kaz
Where we'll always be.

If I could click my heels
And my wishes came true,
We'd always be together
Just me and you.
Fantasies and fairy tales
Are just make believe,
If I can be with you always
I never want to leave.

pretty damn good poem just need to learn a lot more about oz to write anything about it

wow

Glad you liked it Light...


Akin...I know alot about Oz, I was just giving a brief synopsis of my Oz.

so have you read all of the oz chronicles

This is not about Frank Baum's story...it's a comparison of my vision of my Oz. You either like it or you don't, it doesn't matter to me.

The poem was great. The fantasies and fairy tales all have morals to the story and human growth potential. They can be used as tools for learning and how to be a better "human".

Nice write Robert this is really vivid!

Thanks Wench....that was sweet of you.

It was a poem; not an textbook about Oz.
