TRIUMPH

stand tall stand high and be proud

Chase after the myst
Chase after the gloom
Chase after the dreams
Chase not after illusions
Bite the foul destiny
Salute the standing pillars
Slip your hands to smokes
And clasp the lurid pearl

[Joyce S. Greene]

Your dreams are truly something you want to pursue, and that final goal is always the prize at the end of your chase . Your poem seems to suggest that illusory dreams must be sorted out from the real ones and only then can you triumph. Interesting, Larifa.

well i like the lurid pearl, it seems to me to be that which we desire but maybe should not have...go for it Latifa

[Tam Warink]

I like it but I am confused and somewhat out of my depth with this one, Latifa. The reader is emboldened to "chase after the dreams" but not "after illusions." What's the difference between a dream and an illusion except one may be thought of as a desire and the other a mirage. I am left wondering what a "lurid pearl" might be. Perhaps a footnote to help?
