The Realm of the Hungry Ghosts

Something I wrote a while back about how I wasted my late 20's and early 30's.

The Realm of the Hungry Ghosts

In the days when the wooden Kiwi sang,

In the Realm of the Hungry Ghosts,

We did very little to further our lives,

But had more adventures than most.

And the white circus called,

And held us enthralled,

We were working towards nothing at all,

Just a part of the game,

And a small bit of fame,

But all of us sure had a ball.

And your lifetime is short,

I'm sad to report,

And soon you'll grow older and die,

But while you are here,

Move on without fear,

And go and reach out to sky.

Is the white circus the slopes or cocaine ??
I think we can all look back and look at the time and money we've wasted over the years, however these are usually the most fun times.
Good morning Miss F, enjoyed the read

The White Circus was the Slalom competition on the slopes. The World Cup Circuit. I guess there was a little cocaine involved. But I had forgotten about that when I wrote the piece. Basically, there was a little bit of everything. And that made it all fun.

Thank's for reading.

We went to New Zealand to train one summer (summer in the US). There was a wood carving of a Kiwi in our living area and this gave me the idea for the poem.

In the distant past I slept with a couple of birds who were made of ice :))
