A very good poem. I read recently that scientists have had some success with a device that allows you to control your dreams. The could direct them live a movie.

    I'd be most appreciative.

I can just imagine you riding on the "winged horse" with Mickey. God bless both of you. I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for the courage to come back to our community, to express yourself through your art. The poem is exquisite. Truly a great work of art.

The objective correlative of the poem reminisces preoccupations in dreams and their diverse nature.

The work highlights special sights, beauty, horse ride on wings and funtime with gay.

The work earns its texture through the use of onomatopoeia,alliteration. metaphor and rhymes.

Excellent work! Bravo !

Hi there,

A well written piece you have crafted here. Flows really well throughout and the repeated refrain at the culmination of each verse works well.

Nice to see the true meaning of 'gay' in usage once again too...

All the best

    Thanks for all your kind words...if it were my 'druthers, I'd like to see no other meaning of the word"gay." I love that word, always have.

This is a wonderfully written poem about the memories we keep in a special place in our hearts. Healing comes from writing, it's painful though. Keep them coming.

Have a great day and God bless.

It's a while since I've read a Monotetra. It's an interesting form, with its haunting echo in the last line of each stanza. Yours are especially effective in the second and third: "we have to weep, we have to weep" and "Oh, rest unkind, oh, rest unkind!" though I suggest punctuating the latter "Oh, rest unkind! Oh, rest unkind!"
You've composed a fine poem here with steady rhythm and some inventive rhyming.

    Thank you so very much. I'm glad that you enjoyed the poem, the rhyming, and rhythm. When I complete my answers for my reviews I'll take a look at the line in that poem. Thanks for the suggestion.

This is very cool. It touches on all the things our mind tries to come to grips with or would rather dwell on. It captures the feel of each visionary pattern we dream. I really like the contrast between the second and third stanzas. from moonbeams to the boogeyman. great piece, and for your dreams I pray for great peace.

There's a lovely ethereal quality to your poems, and this one is no exception.

I have one suggestion, this line:

during the night, during the night.

The meter would be improved if you could maybe changed it to:

throughout the night, throughout the night.

It's a beautiful poem; the quadruple rhymes and repetition in the last line of each stanza adds to that dreamlike mood.

A very well-written Monotetra, I am not very familiar with this format, but it seems you done a great job with this poem. The rhymes are excellent and the lines flow fluently from the one to the next.
