Best Dreamy Poems

The slow sun sets, the night ebony dark,
     Silvery moon shines brightly, dreamy mood.
I stroll carefully, nimble like a lark.
     In glad, dreamy, indulgent solitude,
Admiring the mood in tame attitude.
Brightness around the moon circles delight,
For a moment...

His eyes, like cornflowers, are pretty blue.
From where I sit in back of class, I gaze
at his soft lips – two petals sweet with dew.
I think that I could stare at him for days, 
imagining at least a hundred ways
to make him finally aware of...

Dress my dreams agleam your soft sterling tiffany

    on chiffon cream moonbeams fly your mused rapture.

      In glimmers so shimmers swooned stream’s epiphany

of silky words cashmere.. dream’s cocoon.. you capture.

This is my humble tribute to our dear Soup member Andrea Dietrich, using some of her poem titles. This is actually inspired by a contest named "Title Wave", that was sponsored by our Soup member Richard Lamoureux last year, in which I did not enter,...

Ajuga, will be a must, a blue beauty that blows in the wind.
Bellflowers, charming and faithful and lovely, of course I must have
Candy Tufts from gardens of long gone, enchanting. And mother's favourite,
Daylilies, in a rainbow of colors, Delphinium and Daffodils also, so dramatic.
Evening Primrose...

(AKA - "Becca Baked My Birthday Cake")

Surprise!  Strawberry scents permeated the air.
Mountains of creamy pink lured fingertips.
Bewitching chocolate with fresh fruit inside, 
Luscious and succulent tempted watery lips.

Enlivened young children could hardly wait.
Tiny little fingers did not hesitate.
Dipping in the icing, a lip-smacking delight.
To...

Tantalizing creamy and smooth, chocolate cheesecake layered with light and airy 
peanut butter moose.
A foundation of chocolate cookie crumbs, butter, ground nuts and toffee chunks.
Mix into a luscious and tasty crust.
Savor each bite slowly...joy pure and delectable on my tongue.
Cool chocolate and nutty crunch crust...

People turn to her and say,
"Why are you like this?
Like a girl of modern day,
Dress up a bit, miss.
Don't sit with books all day long,
There's a world outside, you know,
These fairy tales won't help you 
Live.  Life's not a dreamy song.
You'll see beyond the...

I dreamt a dream of dreamy flight
A dream that swept me with delight
Dreaming inside a dream just might
Allow dreams to succumb their height
Dear dream maker keep off the light
I hate to wake from dreams at night
Sandman comes to tire my sight
Nourish foreboding dreams so right
Subconscious...

Once upon a dreamy dream
I had a wistful, faraway journey
An experience unique
Out of this world beautiful

I found myself in a rugged, rocky
And weathered landscape
With tall, dense, dark, deep trees
Of jade, emerald, sea green and olive

An ancient, primal forest
With many chasms, abysses and rifts
Bird refrains drifting
O,...

Close your eyes and see a loch, the spot I  go: 
icy waters swirl beneath my wooden boat,
tall surrounding hills are blanketed in snow,
lashed by hail, I button up my winter coat,
Nessie glides and fishes in her world below.
Will she choose today to surface,...

Black onyx night, of the pearlescent moon,
diamond dew kissed, musk rose red.
Deep purple and white passion!
Phantoms dance in lilac dreams;
around the corner of blooms,
with memories of sunshine.
Comparing lovely costumes,
in fields, beds and flowerpots,
just steps away from moonlight.
A polka dot rainbow flared.

Lazy, dreamy friday, 
Take me to your breathy skies
I want to see your lonesome light glow
In my eyes you can see how darkness pervades
In my eyes you can see that I know longer feel so safe
Lazy, dreamy friday
Take my doubts away

Lazy, dreamy friday,
Hush the goodbyes...

Heaven’s delight
Brownies supreme
Whip up a bowl
Of peaches and cream

Reach for the sky
Launch a sweet dream
Hang all your hope bubbles
Across a cherry moonbeam

Have you ever gone flying at night
Oh, I have flown away
It was a dream

I went up to heaven
Touching the huge golden gates
Voices said, not yet, so away I spun

Oh, heavenly night
Of black ebony velvet
With all your brilliant stars
Hanging like diamonds above

I danced and swirled with...
