CayCay Godwin Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

ALL WORDS ARE ONE SYLLABLE

DREAMS

In time, all men must come to terms with dreams
to cast off all they craved that true life stomped
yet still hold joy’s sure seeds in hope lined seams
lest all their heart holds dear just fails flat chomped.

We do and should build dreams in life with zeal
with care to then bind them with prime ground ties
that will not lose or bruise the dreams pitched feel
but hold our soul’s core glow where good light sighs.

Some dreams are as flight trips our minds need take
to keep our thoughts from scenes that rip our hearts,
then there are dreams we wish for earth’s own sake
where peace and love may paint their best toned starts.

Some dreams are meant as heart sheer, mind reared sways.
Some dreams are meant as heart cheer, mind steered stays.

Chris Green September 23, 2019 at 11:57 AM Fantastic my friend. I know this couldn't have been easy to do but you made it look as if it was. Your talent shines brightly in this. Best wishes in the contest

Richard Lamoureux September 23, 2019 at 8:54 AM This is skillfully expressed. I didn’t realize that it was all single syllables until reading the other comments. Bravo! Hugs Rick.

Alexis Y. September 23, 2019 at 1:31 AM Hi CayCay, You have penned such a well written Sonnet. I enjoyed it from start to finish. Dreams are very important to have, they motivate us to reach our full potential. Without them life would very dull. This is a winner in my eyes. I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis

Sandra Adams September 22, 2019 at 7:15 PM This is wonderful Cay Cay...i don't remember many of my dreams these days from sleep....but i have many life dreams, my motto is to stop dreaming is to stop living... great poem :) hugs

Andrea Dietrich September 22, 2019 at 4:03 PM Caycay, I see you mastered iambic pentameter in this one. It is looking good! that was a most interesting ending couplet with the mind reared sways and the mind steered stays. Loved that! I just reread the first part, and it's SO true. I used to have flying dreams but they are dead and gone because of this idea you wrote about: In time, all men must come to terms with dreams and cast off all they crave that true life stomped. That part rings so sadly true for me.

Connie Marcum Wong September 22, 2019 at 3:47 PM This is lovely CayCay! "Some dreams are mere flight trips our minds need take". Your uniqueness always shines in your wonderful poetry! I loved this special poem. I hope to see it high on the winner's list! I hope you are feeling better dear friend? Blessings : ) xxoo
