    Everyday you dream of something
            You dream of fluffy white clouds in deep blue skies,
                You dream of snow-capped mountains and fairy-tale lands,
                    You dream of seeing the world as an eagle flies
                        You dream of your gentle, caring lovers touch
                            Of freedom, love and happiness
                                Nothing much.
                                    Crash.
                                Your dreams are shattered,
                            In the trash,
                        As the dull cycle of life continues,
                    And that alarm clock rings again,
                You have only time to muse
            Of things better, things quiet
        To save you from the misery
    Of the endless, dull riot
That is life.

Well done. I liked the way you separated the dream from reality with one simple word 'Crash'. I thought the format really contributed to the poem too, because when you're describing dreams, the text seems to float off of the page, then after 'Crash' everything starts to go back to the norm. Wonderful Job! =]

what lemon said. If you like open poem forms, check out E. E. Cummings. You would like his style, or lack thereof.

I love it!

Very beautiful stream of yer imagination.

Creative and Poetically graceful, this felt juss so natural to read.

Juss the way yer cared enough to put a little extra time and effort into yer structure alone speaks volumes fer yer character's love fer the Poetic arts, and perhaps is somewhat telling of a creative mind striving fer individualism.

Talent...

Y'gots it

Aye, this little gem here was a jolly fine read indeed.

Lovely Poetry

Keep well,

'Anna
