Dream


Looking into the starry sky,

I feel the breeze swim through me,
it swims past and I stand between its strands,
it swims, the breeze,
I stand through its strands and it swims past,
and it cools my body on such a hot humid night.
Such peace I haven't felt in a long long time.
The sand at my feet are warm,
but cool when I dig my toes in.
But at my feet, its warm.
I stood still, and still looking up into the sky,
the sky filled with stars, twinkling stars.
I'll make a wish if I see a shooting star,
shooting stars are so rare, so rare,
it never comes, so rare.
It's only there when you're not watching,
when you blink.
I'll make a wish if I see, if ever.
Such a beautiful night,
too bad it's only a dream.

I love it... but I hate it because it was only a dream. I should've known, the sky's never that beautiful around here. This poem makes me think about a lot of things. "It's only there when you're not watching,
when you blink." my favourite line
Good Job =)

Great to read your works-in-progress; thanks for posting.

Please bring to class tomorrow (Monday) three copies of the poem(s) you've created for the collaborative poetry project. We'll be working in groups on the next step of the project, so it's important to bring in your original work as a public draft you're ready to share with your groupmates. You'll need copies for everyone in your group.
