Do you ever wonder?

Do you ever wonder?
What it would be like

to come back again!
But not as you.

But maybe as someone else.
Reincarnation.  I am talking about.

Who, would I choose or want to be?

Will I even want to be a human?

Shall I even be,  from this planet called

earth?

Would I  be a mammal,  fish or

even a bird?

Could  I pick a certain time dimension from

going forwards, backwards

or even just now in present time?

So many questions,

So many thoughts

I am thinking out loud

My poor brain is  spinning

like a top.

Maybe I will travel to Mars,  Jupiter

or even Venus. And live as an

alien on one of these planets.

Or be a sheep in New Zealand

belonging to a good herd.

The possibilities are endless.

Oh what a blast to

think of so many

alternatives I could

just be.

I am not saying.

It will be better

or it would be worse

I am just talking about

the experience of

trying something new.

Even thou reincarnation

is not a new topic at all.

But to me. It is.

What would you choose

to come back as if you had

the chance?

Hypothetically speaking

of course.

Dee,
This is always a fun, interesting, and entertaining question, one I have pondered from time to time, to which I concluded I'd return as a better version of myself.
You have this listed under poem, but to me, though well-expressed and presented in Free Verse form, complete with enjambment and line-breaks, it is simple prose with a number of spags (spelling, punctuation and grammar) issues throughout.
Dee, it just lacks too much in poetic voice, emotion, metaphor (in my mind's-eye) to be considered a poem. Perhaps, a soliloquy or monologue.
Despite techy stuff, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and may even reconsider and come back as a bird, fly over and share a pint. : )

Now, I'm gonna find another to enjoy … thanks for the privilege! ⁓ Richard : )

you are so right Richard, it is not a poem. And my spelling is terrible and so is my grammar. But thank you for your thoughts. :)

[Richard🖌]

I not only know how to critique, Dee, I know how to help, too.
Gimme a shout if ye wish. : )

[Onlyme]

Thank you, Richard. I really do appricate that.

Friends help friends ⁓*

[Onlyme]

That, Is very true.

Think I'd give it a shot as a small white (non-barking) puppy dog. You should see how well this little thing of ours is treated
Not sure about the dog biscuit thing tho'!!

Dave, I think your comments got on the wrong review thread.

[Dave Brown]

Humh
I don't seem to get this reply thing right
Sorry. All time clazy!

[Onlyme]

Yes you have the wrong thread. Just looked up. :)

[Dave Brown]

no wonder all my pants have holes in the knees
I've been using the wrong thread!!
I'll respool my comment tool

[Onlyme]

No problem. Made me smile. And prove we are all but human. Easily done.

I have not pondered the possibilities much in my long life. But the way you present all the interesting detailed pops in your head about this & that, it’s almost contagious. Your poem makes a person think about stuff that he/she wouldn’t normally care much about, just becuz you convey such enthusiasm & playfulness. It’s actually your personality that sells this poem more than your writing. I could enjoy having more “out there” details like the New Zealand herd comment – this is when your poem becomes the most engaging, I think! *smile* Fondly, Margie

[Onlyme]

Thanks barleygirl, glad to hear I made you think and ponder. Wink

Wonderful thought. It would be wonderful to be reincarnated as something or someone else, wouldn't it? If I were to choose, I guess I'd pick an eagle. All seeing and soaring high, also intelligent and top of the food chain.

"Shall I even be, from this planet called
earth?"

I like this thought, I always do think that there's always something out there. This is wonderfully written poem and great thoughts. Well done fellow writer. ^_^

[Onlyme]

Love the idea of an eagle, great choice, majestic, beautiful, elegant and regal to me.

[splattercore]

It's nice to think we would have a chance. If life has proven anything, it's we are going to get what we get and we'll be thankful to get anything at all. That's not to say it wouldn't be fun to think of what we could come back as. Maybe the decision is through pure whim. Maybe it's a speculation. Maybe it's a theory on what we would strive as? Perhaps it's a reparations for the mistakes made in life.

Nice piece! If I were to come back as anything... I would be a chinchilla.

[Onlyme]

Your choice made me smile. And wonder why a chinchilla?

[NAVEED NAWAZ]

yup I wonder . as you describe these thoughts the most curious thoughts. i may be born as a betterfly which looks pretty and hard to catch. Every creature is a symbol of best creation. and we, humans are here to take care of all 0ther creature. it is a beautiful thought u share 😊

[Onlyme]

A lovely butterfly, beautiful, delicate and alluring to the eye.

[Olivia]

I too always have this kind of questions in my head, like particularly if i were to choose my life what kind would i. It was a lovely read.

[Onlyme]

Thank you Olivia. So glad you enjoyed. :)
