John Watt Poet Tetractys

Notes About The Poem

She Dreams

She
dreams of
a soldier
back from battle
having purchased peace with strength and valor
attending now to his long missed maiden
a wedding and
family
now to
plan

Andrea Dietrich August 22, 2020 at 1:53 PM Love what you did with this form and the picture prompt. I too chose this picture . it is SO beautiful. Maybe dreamers are the ones most drawn to this photo!! John Watt August 22, 2020 at 9:08 PM I think you're right about dreamers. I remember commenting to you about your Josephine Wall painting, not knowing yet that it was one of Eve's prompts! I really enjoy her painting style.
