If you could be a character
from any time in history
who would you be?
Would you drive elephants
over the Pyrenees?
Would you a beautiful woman be
running a powerful country?
*
Would you write of grand and small
of rivers boats and boys
perform in city’s hall
travel the world to see it all
would photography be your call
of waters mighty fall
Yosemite grandeur’s tall
*
Ride a ship deep into space
a child’s literary hero
though none knows your face
chart a journey to a distant place
under water worlds that none can trace
a man, a woman in a race
around the globe in 80 days
*
All the things you see
the characters as one
“take not that path,” you plead
as you endeavor books to read
fingers, eyes do lead
never enough stories to feed
the imagination’s greed
The suggested prompt for Nablopomo today is what character would you be? As an avid reader since I was a young child, I would say the character in the book I am presently reading (historical or fictional). What about you. Who would you be?

Ah…the wonderful thing about books…is all the places and people you get to be…and all from the comfort of a room with a cozy fireplace. 🙂

In every book I’ve read (and liked) there was always a character I related to and wanted to be like. So this question would be hard for me to answer too. I would have answered the same way as you!
