Dreamscape

We slip into the cradle of night's arms, Beyond our weary, wakeful selves, we go. Where hopes take flight untouched by worldly harms, And whispered wants, like drifting petals, flow. Beneath a veil of stars and moonlit beams, We cross to foreign lands of our design, A portal to a world beyond our dreams, Where truths and aspirations intertwine. And when we wake to walk through daylight's door, The secrets of the stars, we're meant to keep. Unfiltered are the thoughts our dreams explore; For minds cannot be closed when they're asleep. May we be armed with wisdom of the night, And dare to seek a world beyond our sight.

Okay Jess, I sincerely pray I am wrong so I'll give you a test, if it's okay, to prove your innocence with something that I don't think that AI can do yet---?

My new contest will be a challenge for all who enter -- almost everyone that has entered on the soup is incorrect - so don't use them as an example (nothing new there) A Sapphic Stanza is one of the most difficult to do correctly - 95% get it wrong or don't even try - good luck!

This is truly lovely. I enjoy how sleep is defined as different from being awake. I enjoy the sonnet form for this poem.

Thanks, Tom. I was just accused of using AI, so this means a lot. I'm trying not to let it get to me… it is just upsetting.

Wow. This perfectly captures the world of dreams, how some things can never be as beautiful as our dreams can make them, while others can only be as beautiful as our dreams can make them. Well done!
