She took her preconceptions,
dumped them in a lumpy bag -
deciding conventional thinking
just made her gag.
If she wants purple ponies,
purple ponies aplenty there be.
Is that a seahorse swimming
in her glass of green tea?
Without limits the world
glows and sparkles and fizzes
when we concentrate on possibles
instead of lumpy is'es.
She will be a ballerina
or save the world from war and hate.
She will call the shots
and not rely on fickle fate.
Mind as sharp as well-aged cheese,
she sees circles in the moon,
and tells us that Jesus
isn't coming very soon.
Liberated lady with a notion
that not all things must be one way...
she just believes she must always
be liberal in what she may say.

This is an interesting piece to have a different concept then from what I have experienced before. Makes me think, I like that about it. thanks for entering

OOPS! The word count thing... Not my contest so I can say that I loved your whimsical imagination in this write. Why DOES everything need to be so black and white, so either or, in life... Nonconformity rules!!!

This is a wonderful write from beginning to end...love the imagery and the meaning it holds...well done all the way through.
It is just a bit over the word count.
Best,

Great poem, but a bit more than thirty words. Would suggest you use this as a prewrite for another contest, and re enter this contest with a new write.
