I Am...

The poem That gave me the idea to create the group "Writers/Dreamers". I refuse to call it my group, it belongs to all who join.

 

 

I AM...

I  am a writer, a dreamer.

I wonder at others' toils and fears.

I hear music, a song, everywhere.

I see a story wherever I look.

I want to know how to give them to others.

I can help them to hope, to dream, to sing with me.

 

I pretend that the stories, the songs, are mine.

I feel the emotions, the words, the joy and laughter, the sorrow and pain.

I touch others hearts and find their deep sorrows they masterfully hide.

I worry with them, try to draw out their sadness and replace it with the love of my Lord and I.

I cry over the joys in life, it's sweet stories and songs.

I am a writer, a dreamer.

 

I understand what most no one else will.

I say what I see to help others belive.

I dream of flowered meadows and rivers shimmering and singing sweet.

I try to help others to see, to feel like me.

I am a writer, a dreamer.

Author's Note

I tried to catch the essence or being of a writer, of a dreamer. I don't know how I did or if It's way off but I would appreciate your thoughts and your critisism concerning it. Thank you so much!

First stanza:
We all march to our own music. I love your dreams,
but feel that your dreams are just that, dreams.
I always want to see the real person beneath the
dream.
Second stanza: Beautiful sentiments.
Third stanza: You are in the business of construction.
You are trying to build poets and philosophers out of ?

You see flowered meadows and rippling streams.
You bring this to the reader in the best way, in your
poetry. You are a builder of castles in the sky.
Beautifully done.

Thank you! The first stanza is just that, a dream, my dream. It has a little truth in it to though. I do see a story or song most everywhere, can't help it. But the rest, yeah... sadly, just a dream. Anyways thanks for the review!

Hey Cookie,
i just read your poem "I AM". I liked it very much. You have asked if the pictures were too much, so I wil be brutally honest with you... yes, i found the pictures to be distracting. The first one and the last one should stay. Perhaps you could make the other ones smaller so the reader won't get smacked in the face with a big one and lose their perspective.
Other than that, your poem is good.... it is a spirit lifting poem. Thank you for allowing us to read it.
Peace,
Jeanie S.

I thought so to, I took them off except for the two you mentioned. Thanks for the brutal honesty! I love that kind, it's all I truly look for in reviews. If you have nothing wrong with a piece of work and no one tells you they don't like it, someones lying to you. Well, at least thats my philosophy.
