Michael Ramel Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

The title is ($2.98 for) A Dream......One line is not a direct quote from the song "As Time Goes By" from the movie Casablanca....end quote from Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver.......pacto arco iris (Spanish) is the covenant God made with man to never flood the Earth again (I use that covenant here in a broader sense of all the covenants God made with man)......Notice the hope in stanza three contrasted to the futility in stanza one.......Also there is a trinity of concepts: music (stanza one) colors (two) and love (three)

Two Dollars and Ninety Eight Cents For A Dream

Am I in a dream
Only as it may seem
I am music, I am the notes
You once were the wreckage on which my soul floats
Now I am the maestro, I am also first chair
And now the crescendo (and you are not there)
And it's okay that it's not you (I've found someone new)

All colors came from three
The primary Trinity
Amaranth, Burlywood and blue
Phlox and Pesimmons to name a few
Magenta, Tawny, Zaffre and Zomp
It's bomb blast and bombast and pomp

Under pacto arco iris
We have our first kiss
The world welcomes lovers
Especially the giddiness from under the covers
And so it is an eternal dream we seek
"If I spend $2.98 on a dream
It should at least last a week"
