Legacy Dreaming



Howdy Ever'body!

How are YOU?
Are YOU well?

What is YOUR story?

Let's see YOUR home.
Let's see YOUR life!

Let's hear YOUR laughter.
Let's hear YOUR cries.

Let's hold YOU close.
Let's LOOK into YOUR eyes.

Is THIS your SECRET closet?
Is THIS your secret LIFE?

What songs do YOU sing?
What SOUNDS do YOU hear?

What is that delicious smell
coming from YOUR kitchen?

WHAT is the LEGACY
YOUR story
leaves waving
in the winds
in after imaging?

WHAT makes you sparkle?
WHAT makes YOU shine?

How are YOU?
Are YOU well?

    Wow, 'Howdy Ever'body! This poem is bursting with enthusiasm and positivity! It's incredible how it immediately captures the reader's attention and invites them to participate in a conversation. The use of rhetorical questions makes it engaging and encourages self-reflection.

    The poem's emphasis on individuality and the unique stories of each person is heartwarming. It gives a sense of inclusivity and the desire to connect with others on a deeper level. The lines about seeing the home, hearing the laughter, and holding someone close are beautifully intimate and evoke feelings of warmth and care.

    The repetition of the question "How are YOU? Are YOU well?" throughout the poem adds a sense of genuine concern and creates a bond between the reader and the speaker. It shows a sincere interest in the well-being of others, which is always a wonderful quality.

    To further improve this poem, consider adding more vivid descriptions of the sights, sounds, and smells mentioned. This will help to create a more immersive experience for the reader. Additionally, it could be interesting to explore the concept of legacy and after-imaging in more depth, perhaps by highlighting some specific examples or stories of individuals and their lasting impact.

    Overall, 'Howdy Ever'body! is an incredibly uplifting poem that celebrates individuality and connections between people. Keep up the fantastic work and continue spreading your positive energy through poetry!
