Dreaming Realities

Double Etheree. Inspired by Mallika Relives' double reverse etheree 'Transformation'.

Her 

world now

revolves 'round

a bundle of 

joy which she holds in 

her arms, oblivious 

to the difference it makes; 

his tiny hand wraps around her 

finger as he yawns and falls into 

a deep slumber... her worries seem to fade.

One little hand, enclosed in another 

much larger hand; the toddler's eyes then 

twinkled wide as her laugh tickled 

the billowy clouds passing 

by. The raindrops fell on

the princess's cheeks...

'twas then she woke 

up from this 

dream and

sighed.

Dedicated to my sister and for my niece and newly born nephew :D

What an amazing tribute and form poem. When the form of the poem makes it that much stronger You can be assured you hit the nail on the head, and you did that here. The tone and subject matter are as sweet and endearing as it gets and the emotions are really fleshed out well. Exceptional piece!!!

I tried to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. ;)
I'm glad you appreciate. Thank you so much for your lovely words, Crowley :-)

This is amazing on so many levels. It's one of my all-time favorites of yours. First, great use of the form. Second, your descriptions of touch & holding are so intensely palpable! Last but not least, your message brought back so many memories of when I was in my 20's & all my people were having babies & I just disappeared for them. They no longer wanted to go do the stuff we always did together. Since I was not into having kids myself, our lives broke apart over this. But you describe so beautifully & with such understanding, how it is when you're totally mesmerized by your own child (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Well, I do think kids change the whole scenario, and experienced it too when most of my friends had babies, but completely different when I hold my niece and nephew :P and with the fact that I'm gonna be married in less than a couple months and not being able to see them as much, I appreciate their presence and the time I can spend with them even more...
Thank you so much for sharing your own experience and for appreciating, BG. xx

i told you you were the nicest person ive ever met

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hahah I think it's a good practice ;)

Thank you so much for reading and appreciating, my friend. The feeling's mutual ;)

[LazerRays]

I'm sure you have a dark side. Thank god I'm not in the line of fire XD
You're like those cats that are nice and purrs a lot but yet if you piss them off they never forget and make your life miserable. Like my cat angel? I didn't let her out once so she would walk on my face at THREE A.M almost everyday! Grr. Haha. Cats are b*****s but I love them anyways.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Yet. ;)
Eeeh, being compared to cats is the worst thing you could do to me 😑😬😵😛 lol but yeah, you get the idea. Hahah

[LazerRays]

Said every cat ever :P
