Too Good To Be True

Too good to be true was he.
How did he vanish?
Was he dreamed?

Too good to be true is kinda how I feel about the art of poetry. Btw I like this little poem. To continue what I was saying about the process of writing poetry...I can't explain what happens. I do know that thinking is something I rarely do when writing. This is what brings me back to writing poetry. The day I figure out why or how the words arrive, I am afraid it will not intrigue me anymore. I do love learning these forms from true writers like you. I am not trained with poetry. U are awesome!

Hello Andrea Missed reading poems for a few nights. But I am here checking in PS again. Hey good luck on your entry! If he is too good to be true, I agree with you vanish him. Life with him would be unreal and very boring I think. Dalila

There's not a man, can live up to the dream. Nobody's ever as wonderful as they seem. If he wasn't real, then not to worry. It's these kind of dreams that seem kinda blurry.

I think dreams can be so much better than reality. Nice poem Andrea. love phyl soup mail

Yes, Clouds and Festivals is a repost. Seems the soup has removed over half my poetry from scan. I asked them about it - received no reply. That sucks! Sorry you can't reply to my PFT poems. I told Connie about it but have heard nothing. I can imagine it is very hard to show everbody's stuff. Yes. The stuff that's too good to be true has a habit of vanishing. Love, daver

I doubt he was dreamed! It's usually reality that just got shoved into a corner of our brain where we don't have to deal with it! Thus the reason for the vanishing! And I doubt he was too good to be true! You deserve happiness in life Andrea! You will either find him again or find someone even better!! Incredible job!!
