In the UK, it's national poetry day,
The one day of the year when I can legally say,
I wrote some poems and put them in a book,
They're all here, if you want to take a look.

And now...
The poem of the day.
Entitled...
## That's Unbelievable
2/10
Some people say, "That's unbelievable"
About a thing that's quite achievable.
They mean they simply "can't imagine"
And that can be solved by taking action.
3/10
When we use our imagination,
Our dreams never go into stagnation.
Our hopes won't slip into hibernation.
They instead become our future foundation.
4/10
To build something no-one else has ever seen.
Except perhaps within a dream.
For them it was a glance in passing.
A moment fleeting, a shadow dashing.
5/10
For us it was it was forever lasting.
An idea forming and details blasting.
That thing that was before unreasonable,
Now becomes a thing quite teachable.
6/10
That thing that once was ours alone.
Can now be shared, and now be shown.
And when we help our imagination grow,
Where it will take us, we can't know.
7/10
Until we get there, then we'll see,
We've constructed a better reality.
Because that thing, once unbelieved,
Is now a thing we have achieved.
