Enter Sandman - a suzi & jan contest

 

 

 

the stuff that dreams are made of
real dreams - as in those you experience in sleep

 

 

"and you may tell yourself this is not my beautiful house
and you may tell yourself this is not my beautiful wife"


  - talking heads




dreams with no ending
half remembered dreams
dreams where the familiar is unfamiliar
recurring dreams
dreams that make no sense


no dreamy dreamlike

gossamer romantic ideals - just real dreams

 

 

off to never never land...

    Thanks to all who entered. We narrowed our choices to a top six pretty easily, from that point it became more difficult. Proof however that dreams make excellent poem fodder. Thanks again. Suzi and Jan

  3. It recurs. The town mounts a steep hill, houses on stilts
    plastered to clifftops. The views must be tremendous,

    This is a very mystical, Yet human poem. You see the mystical in the human. We all realize, after reading this, That we all are mystical beings.

      Yeahhh, like ya need an excuse, Rob. Oh. You said "sleep", not "slip". Beg yer pardon, my Friend. Great contest idea. If I remember to sleep, I'll try to remember to dream...& try to remember if I did, too. I dunno, though; I DID just turn 50. My memory ain't what it once was (I was a college librarian for over 12 years; it's really crowded in here, ya know). Thanks for hosting an inspirational (& motivational) contest. Good luck, one & all.

    I'm not sure if I'm supposed to comment on the contest,or on one of the entries... I just clicked on Featured Poems and arrived here! Don't want to make anyone lose points! The contest does look interesting, so may have to write something!
