In a land of lollipops and lemonade lakes,
Where dreams dance and daybreak,
Lived a lanky lady with a longing heart,
To embark on a voyage, a fantastical start.
With a flick and a fling, she dove down deep,
Into an ocean where wonders sleep.
Bibbity boppity bubbles buoyed her high,
To the surface of the sea, where seagulls fly.

But the journey had only just begun,
For the wanderer sought to bask in the sun.
She soared through the sky, with a skip and a swoon,
In a world where the moon hummed a mystical tune.
Through cotton candy clouds, she soared with glee,
In a sky painted with hues of jubilee.
Higher and higher, she climbed without care,
In a realm where magic filled the air.
With a twirl and a whirl, she touched the stars,
In a cosmic ballet, free from earthly bars.
And as she gazed upon the world below,
She knew in her heart, she'd continue to grow.
For in this land of whimsy, where dreams take flight,
The wanderer knew, everything would be all right.
With a heart full of wonder and a spirit so free,
She'd journey on forever, just her and her glee.

You can learn more on her Instagram @not_waceraa or email wacheramaina92@gmail.com
Here are the prompts I used:
First try:
write a short story based on this excerpt from a poem written by Nichole Wachera titled Before I Die :
"I want to sink further into
The depths of the ocean secrets
And kiss the slimy eels and
Burst through the shimmery surface"
The story should be extremely descriptive, describing a series of scenarios experienced in the mind of someone with a hyper-imagination. Things within the story should be random and fantastical with an ending that's stupendous!
Second try:
try again using a sort of dr. sues style
Third try:
more alliterations and repetition of rhymes within a sentence plus made-up words like bibitty boppity boo etc
