I really love this poem. It is very well written with a great flow and rhyme scheme. Also, a good choice for the accompanying artwork. Great job and thank you so much for sharing. :)

To have a reoccuring dream that is wonderful would be awesome. I have nightmares that reoccur, but the good ones are few and far between. Loved the emotion in this. Well done.

Beautiful quatrains Jim and the are unmetered. Great for that is a form of the quatrain. Your dream is as good as it gets, eh? Well it sounds pretty wonderful to me. Especially this:


The feel of her body causes my heart to race.
I know holding her puts me in another place.
I crave everything about her so very much
especially her tender and sensual touch.

This is a wonderful poem. Such a pleasure to read. I really like the painting of the setting in the beginning. Then the thrill of the dance and sadly the dreams end. Reoccuring dreams are fascinating things. Great material for this poem. Thanks for sharing.

A romantic and charming love poem. The lovely picture you chose enhance the story of dreaming and dancing under the moon. Very nice rhyme and presentation. I enjoyed it.

I don't usually enjoy unmetered poetry, but I did like this one, which tells a nice story with a surprise ending. Nicely done. In your notes you say that you don't like meter because "poetry should come from the poet's heart." But I find that although I write in meter and rhyme, it still comes from the heart. It just requires a bit of nourishing. (I hope that you will read some of my metered work so that you will understand what I mean.) Anyway, your poem is a fine piece of work.
Sally

    Sally, thank you for this great review. You actually expressed how I should have about metering. It is the 'nourishing' that I do not care for. How I think and speak it, is how I compose my poetry. I will take a look at your portfolio for sure,,,,,Jim

I like this unmetered and free flowing poem, which goes with the dance theme nicely. The poem is a romantic dance outside, under the stars. What a nice dream that would be, especially if it is a recurring dream that is an escape. Nice work.

    I have absolutely no use for meter. Seems to force the emotion of a poem when it should come easily and most of all freely. Thank you for this excellent review and comments,,,,,Jim
