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

~

true jack...so true....But how do you STOP these pictures and ideas from invading your mind?
ANSWER....You don't

Is it a gift or a curse?

[Jack...]

Both I think at times, but to focus on the good is the key. Thanks Doc.

For this is what it is to be a poet...a writer....an artist who paints with words on paper.
Beautiful, Jack.

This is a wonderful write, Jack.. I love the 2 stanza themes, but they all seem to link to one another so well. Not a word wasted, not a rhyme out of tune.. 4 big words that all writers should aspire to. Thanks for this, Jack!

Well. You have summed it up nicely and neatly Jack with an amazing precision and perfection of what are the mail elements of poetry or ingredients if I may call it that. The poem is informative and splendid in wisdom...Bravo...:)
