I Dreamed a Dream

My horizons look bleek The sun no longer sets The tide is at an impasse Birds no longer sings The rainbow is colorless Cupid is on strike today Hope no longer hopes I see no star to make, a wish upon tonight My heart doesn't beat I'm a modern day zombie I'm trapped in yesterday Dreams are overrated! My dreams left with you 2-16-19 Inspired by the I Dreamed A Dream contest Sponsor: Silent One

Hi Alexis - I enjoy your style of poetry, or should I rather say the words you carefully choose in a poem for any style of poetry. Sad poem but has impact! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.
