A Tapestry of Dreams

Dreams I've strung together, Of the Robin on its wing-- Interwoven tenderly With yarn, and thread, and string. The redolence of summer Mingled with the winter breeze-- The image of a starry night, Of flowers, hills, and trees. A picture on a naked wall For everyone to see-- Visions of the hummingbird, As well the honeybee. A lively pattern on display Of hope, as well regret-- Recollections in tranquility Of the things I can't forget. The things that I have noticed, Although tend to overlook-- Like the autumn leaves first falling, Or the babbling of a brook. Designs of places unexplored; Of dawn's triumphant beams-- T is a woven bit of majesty: A tapestry of dreams.

Thanks my friend. I think it's time for something with a bit more edge. There's a fine line between real and bleeding on a page; I don't want to cross it. Then again, maybe I should just turn the pen loose. Happy Easter, my dear. Hugs, Mel

Stunningly beautiful Mel. I have just commented on the poem you wrote with Rose - you need to post it too, that way it gets seen by twice as many people. Have recently collaborated with 3 incredibly talented poets Darren Watson and I are to post our 4th poem hopefully later today under our collective name JaDazzle Hugs Jan xx
