David Crandall Poet Rhyme

Moral Contemplations

Must we honor the promises we make in dreams?
The same moral aspects would pertain, it seems, 
and fate would (if the rules of justice still apply), 
a dream's blissful amorous rendezvous, deny.
Must I live my waking life bound by dream pledges?  
It's too much to trim Scarlett Johannson's hedges.

sara Etgen-Baker September 7, 2025 at 5:36 PM oh the conflict! enjoyed this read...fun yet to the point. no we don't have to honor promises made in dreams...unless of course, when we're dreaming we're actually awake and vice versa. David Crandall September 7, 2025 at 5:51 PM Haha, thanks for the clarification!

Hilda Greenhough September 7, 2025 at 11:52 AM Dreams have meaning, but as for me, I haven't been able to remember a dream in a long time. Nice poem. David Crandall September 7, 2025 at 5:55 PM It helps if you have nothing to do when you wake up, and you start writing it before you forget...well, at least that's kind of how it works for me.
