Bryan Norton Poet Rhyme

As I Dream

As I dream a dream that dares
To keep me in the loop
I ponder why my happiness
Is poetry for soup

The color of my grass is green
To greet the morning light
And yet I know the morning dew
Is better late at night

The dandelions roar at me
Before the morning hides
They burst into a thousand puffs
And multiply the prides

A dream is for this heart of mine
To chart a course for home
The equinox of my design
To splash the tidal foam

The shadows of December fall
And settle like the snow
But when they do I like to call
On dreams of long ago.

Gary Radice August 10, 2022 at 7:14 AM Bryan, if you keep writing them, I will always read them. Your rhyming is always top notch. There's a beautiful poignancy that pervades all your words here; your last stanza is truly brilliant. The dandelions 'roaring' is clever. (I love the word dandelions; from the French for Dents de Lion or Lion's teeth which is what they look like in that stage before they 'burst into a thousand tears') Just wonderful. Cheers - Gary Bryan Norton August 11, 2022 at 5:26 AM Sorry Gary, I keep changing my poem on you. Thank you for reading, and taking the time to comment. Your friend, Bryan
