Dreams of Gold

of piles of money
dreamed I, gathering into
my bosom GOLD, lovingly... 
All misspent, all lost
that vast fortune, squandered on
this and that, HEAVEN'S rejects

The ending is classic! Makes the whole poem sit up and pay attention.

Whoa. Haven't heard that phrase -- 'sit up and pay attention -- in 50 years or so. That said, it really works well. Thanks for reviving it for me. :) gw

Thank you for your kind words and support, Connie. Much appreciated. And, of course, you're right. Money put to good use is real gold. :) gw
