A Dream--By Suzanne Delaney--United States

A Dream

Perhaps she dreams of love to come
A pose of beauty unsurpassed
Here in the shadows silent calm
White hands rest so gently clasped.

A pose of beauty unsurpassed
Her flowing hair conceals an envied sleep
White hands rest so gently clasped
Dreams confined are hers to keep

Her flowing hair conceals an envied sleep
Here in the shadows silent calm
Dreams confined are hers to keep
Perhaps she dreams of love to come

  1. Suzanne, this is such a lovely poem. Quite and interesting poem with repeats of lines. The impact of the imagery is increased for me this way. Is there a a particular name for the form? Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent.
    Love, Charlene

    1. Hi Charlene: Thanks for your kind comments and for always being here.
      This poem is written in the Pantoum Form and was inspired by a painting of a girl reclining. It is nice to set myself a challenge sometimes to see what comes out of it. I wonder if in those moments we tap into unconscious desires LOL

  5. Hello, Suzanne! I love your "dream" poem and some dreams are definitely like this. Somewhere, sometime, I've dreamed of that wonderfully, magnificent stallion upon which I ride onto the rainbow. The dream is always a beautiful one and your poem highlights the beauty and depth of a moment's fluttering dream. The serenity of it all is enticing and inspiring, too! Look forward to reading many more from you! Sheri / www.poetryandbeyond.net

    1. Thanks Sheri:
      One of my repeating dreams is riding on a horse with no bridle. It just goes where I want to go. A real sense of freedom and connection with nature. Thanks for always being here and so kind.
      Hugs,
      SuZ
