I’m A Figment Of Your Imagination – Judy J Newman
16I’m A Figment Of Your Imagination
Judy J Newman

Oh, don’t mind me, I’m not really here, just something caught in the corner of your eye
You heard me whisper? No, not I, just the breeze softly moaning, my dear
I haunt you, taunt you, sometimes you believe I have passed by
I’m a figment of your imagination, though at times I am real, as I whisper in your ear
You find me in the strangest places, doing the weirdest things, but I was never here
You watch for me every day, I know not why, as I have never been
You talk to me, secrets, I keep them, of course, my poor dear
Though you have sought me, and thought you caught me, you have never really seen
I am a figment of your imagination, your constant companion, but I was never here
You gave life to me, though you could never do so, quite
Like the mist on a cool morning, I too drift away, my poor, poor dear
I am a figment of your imagination, I am not here, I am the light
The light, which in the daylight burns, but is not seen, except to one
The second rainbow, that is there, but somehow not, ’tis I
You search for me, you hear me whisper, I am not here, you are the only one
Perhaps one day you will lose sight of me forever, and watch instead, the birds flying on high
Bio: Judy was pondering what an imaginary friend might tell their REAL friend.
I love it Judy!
Sometimes an imaginary friend is better than none… Loved the unusual concept of this poem!
Thankyou sis!
Unusual, Judy. It could only have been written by you, or perhaps by your friend the Never Was. Well done to the both of you anyhow. I absolutely love it Judy, and thingy.
Thankyou Ariette Singer
Amazing Judy. I’m so happy for you and can’t wait to read more!
Thankyou little brother
Thankyou Tiffany!
Very nice, Judy; a very unusual concept. Well done. James.
Thankyou James!
We must be related, Judy. How beautifully you write though. Who would ever want to lose their figment? What better friend could there possibly be?
I thought I left a comment for you yesterday Judy, but my brain was befuddled and perhaps I didn’t press ‘post’. I love this! Very Newmanesque! Beautifully written.
Thankyou Ruth, I agree…..who would want to lose their figment…..not I!

Thankyou Robyn!
We Newmans have a lot to say, even the silly stuff is worth the pen!
Liked this poem very much, Judy. It’s often the “silly stuff” that lightens the day – and sticks in the mind.
