How can you say \"...it\'s not very good--\"?! It\'s fun in your usual style, overloaded with truisms until it\'s too fun and way too clever! I love it. Beautifully rendered with exceptional imagery and an intriguing, haunting poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.

I read. It turned out to be a novel experience. You experimented with idoms- I classify such poems under experimentation with language. Usually I find my grasp of the language too feeble to be able to unpack any poems with heavy linguistic experiment. Yet, I seemed to sail through your poem. I am sure it speaks volumes. Well done 👍

It\'s as plain as the nose on my face (or should that be as clear as?) .. This has a very English feel to it (or should that be flavour?) .. I have tried to count the total number of individual idioms you have used here, but repeatedly loose myself each time .. All in all, its unique and quite brilliant and I congratulate you on this literary achievement .. Have a FAB Friday my friend .. Neville 😎👍

Tobani, I see exactly what you were going for here, my friend ...a full-on idiom symphony, stitched together to show how language itself becomes the story. You didn’t just use expressions; you built a world out of them. It’s a risky, clever experiment, and it works because you kept a narrative pulse running underneath. It’s funny, self-aware, and smartly chaotic...well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Why it\'s as clear as day to me that even a blind hog can root up and acorn once in a while and I see as plain as the nose on your face. I\'ll give it a thumbs up.

\"If you feel the need
To worship.
Worship something that
Is real\"
Liked your poem, especially this bit. Worshipping something unreal has been the root of much evil.

Tobani, you know I love this series! I was jonesing in your absence...like an addict! LOL! This one feels timeless...truth wrapped in humility. “Don’t run before you can walk” carries weight when spoken by one who’s fallen and risen. Strong work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Tobani, your satire walks that fine line perfectly…provocative but purposeful. I appreciate how you use voice and irony to hold a mirror to celebrity culture itself. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Paul Bell said:
Yes, it\'s a great dream I\'m sure a lot of girls have.
Imagine it coming true, mind you.
Sure has put a rocket up the royal family and the papers love it.
I wouldn\'t mind being banished to California.

arqios said:
Really sharp piece here, Tobani. I like how it flips the fairy‑tale idea of “princess” into something biting and satirical. The mix of daydream and reality gives it a punch, and those digs about performance and control land hard. Whether you agree with the take or not, it’s definitely a bold, provocative read. 🙏🕊️

Whoa! *cough, cough*... there\'s much, much more to the tale than meets the eye, as his revered grandmother wouldn\'t have been Queen but for the predecessor who abdicated to pull off this stunt. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a griping, haunting, tell-tale poignancy. Thank you for sharing. You\'re downright dangerous. Love you!

As we all know, In Downton Abbey days, impoverished English lords imported American heiresses with substantial wealth as wives…..I know not of the motivations and machinations of royalty today any more than I know the motivations of Musk, tech billionaires, Bezos et al.
My ignorance does not prevent the enjoyment of some right royal entertainment though….

Well written, your poem \"I Wanna Be a Princess\" explores themes of ambition, materialism, and the desire for social status through the perspective of a woman who dreams of marrying into royalty. It critiques the superficial motivations behind seeking wealth and power, exposing the manipulative tactics one might employ to achieve such a goal.

Wow! A poem that started as a dreaming gold digger transforms into a political commentary. Well written as a psychological dream then plan common to many it metamorphosizes into reality. Well rhymed and imaged it sings to greed, lust for power, a coveter\'s dream. I will have another side to this poem of dreams tomorrow Tobani. Loved it a fave

A fine write PL. lol.
My wise man also say - The difficult can be done eventually; the impossible takes a bit longer\'!
Also he asks - What is green and brown, and if it fell out of a tree on you, it would kill you? And he replies, No not a large tree branch, but a snooker table!\' Heehee. Oh it\'s nutty!
