Hi All,
I know I haven't posted any work in a while and am not usually a 
poet but...
I have been assigned a poem titled "Where I'm From", and can 
write anything as long as it's longer than a haiku.
This just flowed.  This is what I consider the ideal world.
Where I'm From
by Vejas Vasiliauskas
I come from a world of imagination.
A world of dreamy souls, floating in fresh, luscious water.
A world of birds, singing nonstop, with their cheery tunes.
A world of books, from cheap paperbacks to glossy hardcover.
A world where everything is of the most rich blue.
So how did I end up here, in this life?
How did I end up in a world of expectations, responsibilities, 
deadlines,
A world of judgement, loneliness and difference?
If you know, text me.
