Dreams From the Distant Past

Dreams from the distant past calling me how can I stop in the middle of this race? In this crowd I am just another face of losing dreams which I once loved to see, no looking back we're now on a racing spree, changing lanes,breaking rules to increase pace Dreams from the distant past, sleeping in them my never grown wish tree, faded dreams of making the world a better place life is now just plastic smile and cold embrace, at the end we're not,what we wanted to be Dreams from the distant past. ******************************************** Placement:4th (August 2012) Contest:Rondine the Traffic of Life Sponsor:Nette Onclaud By:kash poet 29th July 2012 RONDINE: it is poetry form consisting of two stanzas, a septet (7 lines), and a quintet (5 lines), making the poem a total of 12 lines.

Kash, I was doing comments when, at around 10:30 the power went out!! For two hours I had no light or tv,etc. I sat out on the porch and did Sara's "quiet time" challenge, with just the light of the moon and sometimes my cell phone light to help me see. but I wrote two poems!! So will post one and get back off for bed!

sorry I didn't get to this one earlier today to congratulate it. I was kind of skipping all around to see different winners. I need to work on a few more contest poems. Probably won't be here till tomorrow afternoon. Have a great day there in India!!
