Your contest entry from the past read well, DP. Your ideas
of what you imagine are still so current. I like the repeat
of I imagine and the end rhymes. Everything you mentioned
is true, there's smooth flow, and great imagery.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Wow! What an imagination!
Utopia plus.
On your 'religion' verse, I think I would have tried to imagine a world where a single truth was universally accepted.
Best wishes and good luck in the contest.

    Thanks, Wayne. I agree, but I don't see how that could happen. I always wondered if God just didn't get bored with just one kind of worship and helped others create different views and left it to us to live like Jesus and accept them all.

    True. Until you get to Islam, Buddhism, and the like.

An excellent entry for the contest, and many will identify with and relate to each of your thoughts listed. It reminded me of the John Lennon song. Best wishes for your entry.

I'm not sure that the world you imagine has ever existed, but wouldn't it be wonderful. There is so much to be righted, and I think this poem helps to point that out. Best wishes.

your poem is so true and deep and heartfelt. I must say, I was hoping to see a gender equality stanza line in there, but I love all of your current stanzas' topics. Congrats and good luck!

    Thanks, I will try to think of one. Though it may be hard to rhyme or fit into the meter.

This was a really nice sentiment and expressed well. The rhythm and cadence was adhered to well and the rhymes were unforced. Thank you for sharing this piece!

Nice sentiments, expressed well. Looking after the environment and each other seems to be stuck in the realms of the imagination. John Lennon sang about it and got shot down. Still, dreams and imagination can work miracles, so we must live in hope and do what we can to create a peaceful and respectful world.

If there only could be a peaceful world but I think that it is unlikely that it would happen. We can only hope that this world comes in peace. Thank you for sharing! Good luck!

This poem reads like a song. I found myself humming. I appreciate your simplicity of language and the depth of your sentiment -- Put a tune to this.
