Guest Katiya Damodred Posted May 23, 2002 Report Posted May 23, 2002 All was a dream A dream of sorrow. A fog of grief; An endless tomorrow. Happiness fled I reveled in pain. Only to be with you I welcomed the strain. A stupid mistake Though I knew it inside My vision was clouded; Swept along for the ride. A gentle tug here Some affection returned I was in heaven, not totally spurned. And then it all clicked Only after a while. I exulted in knowing I could finally smile. My feelings just vanished Like they'd never been And now I've awakened From the dream I was in. Image by FlamingText.com
Wyvern Posted May 23, 2002 Report Posted May 23, 2002 Good poem Katiya. I like the rhyme scheme, as well as the use of conflicting imagery between images of sorrow and happiness. The theme of the poem is open to the reader's interpretation, as it is up to us to decide which parts of the dream's scenario actually took place and which parts were merely part of the narrator's imagination. Perhaps it is the final part of the dream scenario, where she ends up happy, that is the illusion. Once again, good work.
