    Poem Commentary

    This is the first part of a dream series I wrote. Just a few poems with a dream theme.

    "Dreams"

    Dreams(entry#1 dreams series)
    It’s funny how patterns of tattered matter flow
    Causing desire to live in slumber rather than actual
    Capitalizing on acts that cut back like razor shards
    Swaying the facts while thinking on track, days are hard

    Playing the part to break apart, technically state of the art,
    Flows of color coded insatiable art, vivid with no remorse, bold,
    Enough for, or too much for, any canvas, knows no Morse code 
    I’m sold on what it offers out, to the public’s night life, cold

    Living spaces become warm when the image changes
    And rearranges into something even stranger to strangers
    Days and nights keep them champion for all ages

    Pause, wages unimportant on this playing field of dreams
    When we share the same field we play with different teams
    Seamless reams of paper chased through rivers and streams
    Streamers from ceilings play the roles of shingle schemes
    A single thing, multiplies into greatness, deemed through scenes

    By the robust engine of imagination, come clean through,
    To the far side of nearly all eyes, shut in reverse to mount a coup

    And overthrow the senses governed by realism…so tactical
    Impractical ramblings of a parallel world are actual
    The factual speaks in capitals, mental escapades became practical
    When the need for escape became natural,

    So catapult, yourself into the world of fantastical leaps
    And live a dream the way it was meant to be lived….

    asleep

    The imagery that you portrayed in this poem is so vivid. You have taken me on a trip through your imagination and made me believe in dreams again.

    Rhyme gets me going........specially when it is skillfully crafted and interwoven. That second to last stanza was fluid, rolled right off the toungue. I like how you made it out to be like a dream was reality's coup, overthrowing the borered realm. Ending was perfect. The whole poem was lyrical beauty. Rhyme like this is inspiring. To me anyway. Enjoyed the journey.

    Thank you deep and I am glad you came along for the ride.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
