A realistic dream down roads of home23 total reviews
Comment from Anne Johnston
"Abruptly--the harsh sound
of the clock beside my bed
beams me back.
Reality rushing in."
Your well-written poem aptly describes the feeling we have when awakened from a very pleasant dream.

I enjoyed reading your contest entry. I am not sure one can ever really go home. Not the real home we remember. It would be nice if we could. Good luck with the contest.

Thank you Barbara. No, you can't go home again. Only in your dreams. The people who made it home aren't there any more. I appreciate the review and comments.

We venture out and sometimes the world bites us and all we want to do is return home to lick our wounds. Home is where the heart is, much enjoyed Beth, love Dolly x

Sounds like a lovely dream to have. You have described everything so perfectly, maybe you don't make it home because it's so beautiful where you are. Thanks for sharing, good luck in the contest. :)

The descriptive wording here remind me of the place I grew up in many decades ago. It is well written and touches my heart.
Have a blessed Sunday.

Comment from royowen
Yes, indeed, I think we've all those dreams, day or night time, although my daytime escape place was more vivid when younger, the world presses in, and is more difficult to hold at bay, when older. Beautifully written free verse Beth. Well done, blessings Roy

Dear Beth, if I had six stars left I would certainly give one to you for this wonderful poem. your illustration is perfect, lacking only the trees and the ruts.
I do hope that you will post more of these Free verse poems. Every single one that you have entered I have found outstanding!

Comment from Goodadvicechan
I like the picture. It is a good picture showing a girl walking and finding the road to home. That is what eh poem is showing us.
I like the following paragraph which wakes up people from their dreams:
"Abruptly--the harsh sound of the clock beside my bedbeams me back.
Reality rushing in. Next time, I'll make it home."
Good work.

Comment from 4theloveoftrees
Oh, this is a poem that speaks right to my heart! I read it twice in an attempt to find a favorite line to highlight in my review, but was unable because I love the entire thing. Thank you so much for sharing, really nice work that takes one to another place while reading, perhaps home.
