dVerse Poets Poetics

For today’s prompt I would like to challenge you to write a poem based on a dream or a tidbit of a dream. If you can’t remember a dream, use your imagination to pen a poem about dreams. Another option is to use one of the lines from one of the above poems as a springboard. There is no form or length requirement. Let’s create a dream song or poem, an anthem from the beat of our hearts. What message would you like to send out into the world?

Rarely do I dream at night

I try to keep memories bright

Sometimes a dream causes stress

Comes regret about some mess

I might have caused or watched

Unfold and realized I botched.

Sometimes a dream my mind decides to choose

In the night, are ones where I lose

Perspective, for when darkness surrounds

Sadness comes in, in bounds.

Tears start to flow, can’t get back to sleep
