Notes About The Poem

River of Dreams 1

We jumped into a river of dreams... together

Lazily drifted over histories... swept up in life mysteries

Swift current dropped over edge of reality... back on dry land... alone

Cool metaphoric imagery, Susan. You took us through a lifetime in just three short lines. Awesome. ... everyone is being so creative on this contest. Each one has an interesting take on it (that I've read so far anyway).
