Brain Teasers
Alternate
In the young, I am found,
A maker of games,
A leap, and a bound
From reality's reins.
When no muse is to be found,
Artists turn to me;
Marvel in my sights and sounds
And copy what they see.
Inventors ride upon my back,
Jump over truths that block the way;
In this way escape the track
And drag back home their prey.
Have me, use me, hold me dear
But never fall in love with me.
From me you have nothing to fear
Unless of course you trust me.
A child's plaything,
An artist's friend,
An inventor's steed,
And sanity's end.

nice! I actually got one in the first verse!
Great teaser! Most of us who frequent these pages, have a supply of imagination!
This Teaser is great. I first thought it was a "patent." Don't Ask, Father. The imagination was great.
To correct this teaser, one would have to look not so closely, but want the reward of a correction. In reading this teaser, I could see a few, not so much as errors, but in defining the imagination, a definition that has some problems. I still feel it is a Good Teaser, and the poem was nice too.
I have a big imagination and use it a lot. I imagine most of you are too young to know this, but back in my youth there was a song called "Imagination" It was lovely also. Oh, yes, good teaser and it took a couple of reads to get it.
Nice!
Nice!
The song "imagination" ("Imagination is funny, it makes a cloudy day sunny...") is still around, for those who enjoy the old standards, and is one of my favorites.
excellent...got it after the 1st two lines
Easy, very well written. I read it twice just because I enjoyed it so much.
Well written puzzle. And I loved the memory of the song Imagination. Youtube has a nice version of Frank Sinatra singing that song. Thanks for posting.
