A Poet's Dream

A Poet's Dream

A Poem by Ty
"

The world, you, everything, meaning. A Poet's Dream.

"
A poet's dream
I could write, 
I could speak,
I could shout, 
I could scream,
Or tell you about my life,
Over disposable film,
Before the image disintegrates,
Illustrate where I'd been
Fill a plate with letters
Still I'd wait,
In hopes it'd digest and seep within
Or some way which I relate to you
Parallel perspectives
Emotions
Altruistic
A poet's dream
Esteem
Mood swings
Emotions reverberating, 
Echo and sling
Shot beams from past, where I'd planted, to Venus
Or tell you about Terracotta Soldiers
James Baldwin stands poised amongst Will Buckley and Cambridge debates
Spilling color coordinated paint splattered words that resonate for decades
Fine dispersion
Emulsion
Portrait mess but,
A poet's dream
Feels, fuels, feeds
Or outline what weighs heavy upon your mind,
Maybe depression or ghouls that haunt at night,
A poet's dream.

Love it. All those possible jigsaw pieces that make us us, and hopefully the makes reader relate and understand fragments of ourselves.
I really like the idea of the dream, against what I at least usually fall into, writing about writing. You only mention writing once, in the second line, which expands the idea to thought, which is of course what we begin with, but you add to this by showing the person behind the pen/keyboard.
You seemed to have hit clarity mode dead centre when you wrote this. Kudos.

I feel that this perfectly describes the goal of poets want to portray in their poetry

I really like your phrasing, it is so simple, yet powerful and true.

I've read a lot of your work (as you enter most frequently in my competitions) and I must say this poem has really spoken to me.

Thank you for entering, as always.

Well written, the expression is rhythmic, I like the flow of it all. As a new writter, it clearly describes so well why I write . So thank you for helping me figure myself out : )

What a dream it is! So well-expressed in all its myriad , intricate layers. Multi-media, multi-consciousness imagery ""In hopes it'd digest and seep within.." that's what we live for! Great Ty!
