We all dream and imagine, but I feel that young children do this so much better than older children and adults.

I daydream a lot and this is also part of being imaginative. We create worlds in our minds and as a reader and (perhaps) a writer, this is a critical requirement. When I read, I watch the book in my head and I have never been satisfied when I see a movie based on a book because I always feel that my imagination is far superior to the director’s vision. It’s my imagination versus the director and guess whose imagination wins each time?

Imagination

As a child, we dream, we let our imagination take steam

But as we grow older, we lose that, choosing instead to be more prosaic

But if you are a reader, you will know

Your imagination continues to flower and flow

A good book is your passport

To lands far beyond, to ports where you can cavort

Your imagination then takes flight

Making every book your personal film, with sound and light

So don’t ever think you are too old for flights of fancy

Nourish your imagination, make sure it reaches every nook and cranny

Then it’s payback time you see by which

Life as you know it will get creative and rich
