Feathered Dream Catcher's

Within a catcher, dreams do scream
feathers redeem 
man's sullied soul
sweet dreams the goal

Within their vanes they transfix
each demon lick
each channeling's
imaginings

Within the web they flutter, curs
nightmare mutters
beaded offerings
each feather sings

*It is believed that the origin of the Native American dream catcher (or Indian dream catchers) is from the Ojibwa Chippewa tribe.

I love dream catchers, Debs. My favorite verses are the first and last ones. This is a very simple form, but didn't you find it difficult to do? I find writing rhymes in such short lines to be quite hard to do!!

Like that little note at the bottom Debbi, nice to know the origin of these things that we see. Some of them are very beautiful and your descriptions are too. All the best in the contest! :)
