Brian Strand Poet Quatrain

Dream Streams

Shallow ,transient
fearfully blue
ingnorant eyes
images untrue.

Trouble,torment
a different hue
stains that shame
dull yet  new.


It's a daydream,awake
a nightmare asleep
It's not as it seems
what does it mean?


Brooding,pensive
selfless sincere
a meaningless pursuit
clothes inner fear.

This troubled mind
symmetrical haze
transient thoughts
an everlasting maze.

It's a daydream,awake
a nightmare asleep
It's not as it seems
what does it mean?

Fears unsaid
effort stillborn
clarify contracts
notions forlorn.

A sensory vision 
impromptu,unbidden
nowhere to hide
nothing now hidden.

It's a daydream,awake
a nightmare asleep
It's not as it seems
what does it mean?

Craig Cornish July 10, 2017 at 2:59 PM Much enjoyed Brian and as Henry Higgins once said "By God, I think she's got it!" And yes, I think the rhyming helps pull it all together. Brian Strand July 10, 2017 at 3:53 PM Thanks Craig, not quite in Antonio's league.His lyrics bears closer study in regard to the syllabic and other poetic techniques he incorporates.Watch this space as the saying goes

Kim Rodrigues July 10, 2017 at 11:32 AM Your lyrical verses add much to this lovely poem, full of mind-ponderings! Brian Strand July 10, 2017 at 11:43 AM Thanks Kim, my first attempt using the inspiration of the eclectic, word col!age in a stream of consciousness style of the song mentioned in Craig's latest blog
