I think we all feel this way sometimes. This is a very imaginative way full of strong imagery about leaving reality for fantasy land. Sometimes we need the kind of staycation;

I like your use of alliteration and you choice of artwork.

Keep writing

Loved your Etheree poem, DriftingKat, and please accept my congratulations for your second place finish in the contest. Your poem is beautifully written with wonderful alliteration and enjambment. I'd love to make a trip to Shangra-La...know the way? I love the line "where dream-pillows are stuffed with starlight"!! Congrats!
Smiles,
WanderlustIndy :-)

The alliterations create some nice patterns here, the rhythms of the meter kind of toss and turn in this poem, capturing that sense of a person tossing and turning in their dreams. the lines unfold out of a single point into a whole sky full of stars. Possibilies. estory

Thanks, estory, for pointing out some of the poetic devices used in this Etheree. This form requires an extreme economy of words and syllables to get the imagery and metaphor across. Glad you liked the alliteration, rhymes and imagery. Do appreciate all your comments. Cheers ... ;o) starkat

Starkat,

You did a wonderful job with the challenge that you chose. Well chosen words are excellent. The theme is strong. Your feelings are expressed well. Your arrangement looks very nice. The flow is smooth.

There was no SPAG. No typos. No homophones. No problems at all.

The words you chose worked well.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

Hello,

So many times we want to leave reality and go back to a place and time of cherished memories.
Particularly enjoyed the seven first lines.
Exquisite lines, and great alliteration and flow of words. You also follow the contest rules.
Good luck.

When you get there can you send a raven with a message and tell me all about it. Permanent happiness sounds crazy, but then one would be crazy to turn it down. Good luck !!
