What else??? :o) Good rambling, I mean dreaming, something we all do until we are snapped back to reality. My question about rhyming or not, had nothing to do with your poem, because I think it is good. Jim

Jewell,
this is a very thought provoking work. A thought I am sure most people have felt at some point in their lives. Hang on to your dreams, its the only way to make them come true.

This is delightful, to never give up dreams for they are eternal. What a thought never to dream and how dark the world would become. I loved this and thought it was so well described. Thank you for sharing it.

Very good dreaming out loud or could be mistaken for rambling ;-) However, you wish to put it, your words were very creatively expressive! Such imagination and beauty in this one. Something different but great. Flows smooth as well.

My only concern is the little "(Oops! I'm dreaming outloud again!)" part at the end. It was okay, just seemed a little tacky, I guess. Like a tune writers have played one too many times... If I was to suggest an alternative, I'd say just add a little "..." after the last question, making it "and you know what else?...", like it could just keep going.

However, this cynicism aside, I do like the poem. Though, as any pessimist can tell you, it gets annoying when others constantly advise "Don't let anyone keep you down," the poem ideal itself was quite amusing and quite refreshing, somehow. I myself prefer to dream in my head, but to each her own, eh?

Oh, and "outloud" is two words: "out loud".

Good job on breaking the rhyming/form mold! You go, girl!

:)

Deepest regards

There is nothing wrong with dreaming out loud. Or dreaming period for that matter. As I copedependent of an alcholic abusive ex-husband and father I am finally learning my dreams should come first and they should come last.
