Andrea Dietrich Poet Sonnet

I Dreamed a Dream

I Dreamed a Dream?

I had a dog – a tiny Eskimo
who loved me very much. Nevertheless,
I had to let my cherished doggie go.
This situation caused me such distress.

He was adopted, or so I’d been told.
And there was nothing I could do but grieve.
Was he ok? He had been getting old.
What happened later some may not believe!

One night a few years later, from my sleep,
I woke! My dog before me I could see!
I held my arms out and he took a leap
into them. I then hugged him close to me.

I dreamed a dream? Perhaps. . . but what if my
dear doggie’s soul had come to tell me bye?

Kaveesha Ruwindi February 19, 2019 at 10:04 AM According to this poem, I see how much you love your doggie. What a dream! and yet, it is possible (anything is possible if you believe in it)... Great writing, good luck in the contest :)

Sara Kendrick February 18, 2019 at 9:15 AM Could be. Sad to have to give a pet up for any reason. Creative work. Thanks for the visits to my page. Sara Sara Kendrick February 18, 2019 at 3:22 PM Andrea, I think it is possible. I know we can become so attached to a pet and they become attached to us. Thanks for dropping by. Sara Andrea Dietrich February 18, 2019 at 2:10 PM My dog had some bad habits and my hubbie just could not deal with them any longer (we had even hired a trainer to help us but to no avail). I had that dog a long time but finally gave him up to PetSmart. They have a "no kill" policy on their adoptions, so I sincerely believe he lived on a few more years and then he visited me on his way out of this realm. I have to believe that. No animal ever loved me as much as Ollyver did.

Vijay Pandit February 18, 2019 at 7:10 AM The dream manifested true bond between you and your dog. Love has special powers. A great theme, Andrea.

Tom Cunningham February 18, 2019 at 4:39 AM The spiritual bond you had will never be broken. Lovely verse Andrea. Tom.

Alexis Y. February 18, 2019 at 2:35 AM Hi Andrea, I would love to experience a dream such as this. I believe that it happened. I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis Andrea Dietrich February 18, 2019 at 2:03 PM thanks for saying that. I sure do hope it was real because I felt it was so real compared to the dream that came after that one, in which I was roaming the streets with my dog.

Andrew Fairchild February 18, 2019 at 1:59 AM Aw, y' wanna see a big man cry... He WAS there! I believe it! I love poems that tell stories of miraculous occurrences, and you do it so well! Andrea Dietrich February 18, 2019 at 1:39 PM Thanks for believing he was there. I was unable to get that part into my sonnet, but I was able to FEEL his soft fur and smell him. It was all so REAL. Then I feel into dream in which I was wandering the streets with my Ollyver. I truly think that he had visited me on his way out of this earthly plain. It is the closest I ever came to a spiritual experience.
