Dreaming

We loft our hidden wishes

into the dreaming each night.

We escape our onerous tether,

and,

Responsibilities forgotten,

We put on our crown

And rule

The only world that is

Ours to command.






This weekend we're asking for 30 of your own words plus the three following words for a total of 33 words.  
Tether Loft Crown

    Oh how true! I love blissful dreaming. I hate when my "real" life invades. This is wonderful! And beautiful!

    The right dreams really can be an escape. (I say the right dreams, because the ones I remember, are riddled with anxiety from something bothering me from my waking hours.) This does make wonder if my kids would listen to me better if I had a crown? Mmmm...only in my dreams!

    Oh, I really like the subtle fantasy of this. Dreams are a great escape. If I could truly command my dreams, a lot more of them would feature Robert Downey, Jr., and Ben Affleck. :)

    Beautiful work!

    Ohh, this is lovely, and so true. I love those first two lines - a great way to open this poem, and so beautifully written. Great job.

    I agree 100% with everything Lance said. There was a beautiful flow to this piece. I love how you used 'loft'. Thanks for linking up. Remember to vote!

    Suddenly I wish I remembered dreams more often (tho mine are usually just teeth-grinding continuations of the day...)
    Terrific piece, Tina!
