Life can be tough, to keep one's head up is pretty hard, and there are so many things that can "bug" us, but the chances are the good things are just around the corner. Beautifully written Monorhyme, you've done well, well done, blessings Roy

This Mono Rhyme fits as all the lines rhyme nicely. It is a unique style and has blended well for the contest. It is nice to see some variations once in a while and this one was refreshing. Thanks for sharing.

I love this and it's unique style. I found it very sad at the end, It was a clever twist. I do hope you come second in the competition. First is reserved! Stay safe and well.

I enjoyed this, although the rhyme is not exact (not sure if that matters). The disillusionment is complete, the world overturned, the feelings well expressed. Good wishes for the contest.

I am amazed to read this form of poetry. I am not a poet and have not come across so many forms available on this site.
I enjoyed reading the poem on dreams. simple words. Smooth flowing. All I can say is that it is never too late to set another goal or to dream a new dream. Good luck in the contest!

A very well-written monorhyme poem about the illusion of happiness can hold us captive like in a dream until we realize all is not the way it seems, and we wake up to be devastated and heart broken.

This poem makes me wish I had been more interested in poetry at a younger age. Work like this would have helped me through such awful heartbreak. Beautiful work, best of luck in the contest

I love the repetition of this illusion, and it acts as an enchanting refrain: "
Why did you flee? My heart screams.
Now I see you will only exist once upon a dream." Thank you for sharing, and good luck with the contest.
