if dust were diamonds,
asphalt was gold, and
trees’ leaves paper money,
we’d sneeze on greed
drive over wealth, con~
sider banks quite funny!
fantastical, our discontent would blow away with wind~
Linking to dVerse Poetics with Lillian on “fantasy” theme…

Whimsical sevenling. Sneezeing on greed….I like that.

Sevenlings are us, it seems. I am still hung up on the stately flexible Haibun though; so much creative wiggle room. Isn’t it ironic that if our dreams came true, & mundane reality set in, we might not have achieved happiness.

Very true, Glenn…thanks.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful ~ Our greed hopefully will disappear if all have the same gold and diamonds ~
Apr 13, 2016 @ 07:51:29
Maybe that’s why heaven’s streets are paved with gold?!

LOVE this! Back at the bar this morning and tippin’ my coffee mug to you. Love Kim’s reply to you too 🙂 Just a great sevenling to start my day 🙂

Thank you, Lillian; so glad you liked it!

Your poem reminds me of the rhyme:
If all the world were paper
If all the seas were ink
If all the trees
Were bread and cheese
What would we do to drink?
Love it!

Oh… I do sneeze on greed.. I want to do that.
Apr 13, 2016 @ 07:46:17
Yay…God bless you!
Apr 12, 2016 @ 22:26:06
LOVE that some poets are still Sevenling-ing. 😉 This is a great piece!
Apr 13, 2016 @ 06:21:33
Okay — must reply here! Me thinks you’ve created a new verb — Let’s go Sevenling! 🙂 Think it’ll hit the high of Googling? Noodling? Love it!

It was fun to write…or sevenling-ling , ha!
