Oh, Dreams

Oh, dreams, you come and go. You are so fast. I try but cannot find you in my head. Why is it that I cannot make you last? Oh, dreams, you come and go. You are so fast - like life and how today becomes the past, and yesterdays behind us all have fled! Oh, dreams you come and go. You are so fast. I try but cannot find you in my head. Why is it that I cannot make you last? Oh, dreams, you come and go. You are so fast - like life and how today becomes the past, and yesterdays behind us all have fled! I try but cannot find you in my head. Is life a dream I'll waken from when dead? June 12, 2021 For L. Milton Hankins' Write A "Trionet" For Me Poetry Contest

This is so amazing Andrea, Your poetic breathtaking poetry is so revealed in this excellent write. Please read my comment to Alexis her poem Bye-bye - it explains what has happened with me, but I am a fighter, and Please God with his help I will get through it all. Love you, hugs, Andrea, from Jennifer.

I find this an easy, lilting read Andrea, as the feeling that a dream should give. In masks its technical precision and inspiration. Good luck in the contest. - Ken
