Old doors, like old fears,
take their time to disappear ~
Unhinged dreams lurk near...

Why do we need to so much time to understand that we can safely venture forth?

Wow. So much said in this small but strong poem. I love the way the words flow... there is so much power behind them. Very well written. Loved it. I also really like the image.

I admired your use of mono-verse rhyme, the analogy, and wordplay with "unhinged". Congratulations on winning the 5-7-5 Contest and have a productive, new week- Joan

Diane,
This is a nicely done mono-rhyme 5-7-5 that uses a door as a clear extended metaphor for losing faith in dreams coming true.
Congrats on winnin the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Joan

This 5-7-5, Revisited Foundations, has the right set up and seems to take us back to experiences or simply fears that remain to touch our thoughts still today. Makes us think of what there is there.

I love your metaphor (is that what it is?) about unhinged dreams lurking. This is so picturesque, your words even without the picture, but then again, the picture is so perfect. Love it!

I loved your choice of metaphor in this piece and I thought it was a brilliant entry for the contest. I think it's true, even though we may overcome our fears, they still always lurk in the background. I thought this was really well written. Good luck in the contest!
