Dreams ~ Memories ~ Imagination ~ Poetry

all together now

 

Dreams ~ Memories ~ Imagination ~ Poetry

 

~

I find that dreams are painted

on the inside of our minds

Watercolor images

of what we come to find

 

Flowing on the breezes

as they whisper softly low

Sending forth a message

of things we're soon to know

~

Memories are fashioned

of a once remembered place

Sewn together neatly

on the edges that we trace

 

Photographic visions

held so tight behind the wall

Waiting for the moment

that our hearts begin to call

~

Imagination flourishes

with nothing much to see

Scenes that we now conjure up

of where we long to be

 

Dancing on the avenue

with stars up in the sky

Even when it’s cloudy

we can see them wander by

~

Poetry brings feelings

standing now as one

Wrapped in tiny packages

verses filled with fun

 

Tied together neatly

thoughts we’re thinking of

Colored paper stanzas

with a bow on top of love

~

So as you read this poem

think of memories you’ve seen

Use your imagination

to create the perfect dream

 

And hopefully you’re finding

that all of this is true

For these four words I write about

are all inside of you

~

Jack this is why I find such love in your words.. Your poetry is always meaningful and gorgeous.. Taking these things and meshing them together in a metaphoric extravaganza to explain poetry is how i read this.. Dreams, imagination and memories ARE what poetry is made of.. My favorites is soon to be called.. "jacks poetry" lol

[Jack...]

Thanks so very much my sweet friend. Indeed, key elements in poetry they are, as are you beautiful Rose.

"Dreams ~ Memories ~ Imagination ~ Poetry
For these four words I write about

Lovely description of someone special. Glad you found those words interconnected to describe your love. Nice poem.

In my case, this is my piece about those words:

"But dreams are what you hoped for
Not sure if they'll come true
And if you fail to get there
Only mem'ries will be left on you.
Sometimes imagination
Can lead you to wrong turn
And nothing's you can do but
To write a moving poem."

Forgive me for this, Jack. It's just came out...and that's my reaction.

[Jack...]

No problem Dhaye, be my guest. Thanks so much my friend. Indeed, these words are different for everyone, just my point of view at the moment.

[Dhaye]

Lol. I am just sharing to you what is based on my experience...which is far from yours. I'm happy that you have such point of view. Smile. :) :)

Thank you Prachi

[Troy Henson]

Simply wonderful Jack.
A well penned quadrilogy so descriptive and touching. One that really hits home with me in so many ways. Such truth penned and lends itself, I believe, to be an anthem to all poets:)

Regards.
Troy
