I am working on a ramble about dreams now. I dream every night. Pleasant dreams but I seldom remember them when I wake up. I always wish I could stay where I am but awaken just the same. Good job here. Live the picture and the thought. xxx Nancy:)

Thank you so much for the review and comments. Good dreams are a nice change from the stress of the day. I remember a lot of mine if I think about them as soon as I wake up. I'm always young in them.

I know! I am too! In my mind I am always young even when I am awake. LOL That is until all my aches and pains and infirmities show up and cut me down to size again. LOL xxx Nancy:)

What a beautifully written poem. It's so descriptive that the reader feels like we're taking a walk with you. Seeing what you see, feeling what you do. The ending line is perfect. Good luck with your contest.

the roads we travel within our minds can often be filled with kind memories and sometimes they are painful. It's a beautiful poem and I certainly enjoyed it. Smiles to you!

I love this free verse. The images bring reality to the dream and the reader can easily imagine that road home.
Dreams are amazing aren't they? They often seem so real.
I hope you are able tor return to that lovely place.

What a beautiful dream for being young and cute again walking home barefoot with a pair of red heels in one hand and a suitcase in the other. I love the picture, too. I hope to read a newer version of this dream soon.

Well done and good luck in the contest.

Beth that's a great entry for the Free Verse. You will be part of my competition. The imagery is sterling and the message clear until we discover that you are dreaming.


Abruptly--the harsh sound
of the clock beside my bed
beams me back.
Reality rushing in.

Next time, I'll make it home. (Nice)

Thank you for the review and comment. I doubt if you have to worry about much competition from me. I hardly ever write free verse and I'm never sure I'm doing it right.

This was a lovely read. We were enjoying the journey the aspects if the road underfoot and the animals and bare feet! I could never do that, then back to reality. Beautiful picture,

Breathtaking--brilliant imagery--so fresh--graceful flow--one of the finest examples of free verse I've seen. I expect I'll be back with congrats. If not, I'll be pissed. Gorgeous piece.

Thank you Elizabeth. I really flattered by your generous review. However, prepare to be pissed because I'm almost never a winner on anything that is judged by the mysterious panel.

Ditto. Never so much as honorable mention.
