Perhaps A Dream-Sonnet Poem by Joseph Anderson

Perhaps A Dream-Sonnet

Rating: 5.0


The day has spent, to bed I go,
All vigor gone, all movement slow;
Life's daily grind must rule the day,
'Tis night when mind comes out to play.

My dreams shall be of yesteryears,
Of hopes and loves, of trials and tears;
Fond memories garnered through the days,
A brief delay from 'morrows haze.

In nightly visions I shall see
The things held dear, in memory;
Then dawn arrives, another day,
Oh! Dawn begone, I wish to stay.

And even in the darkest night
I find much comfort, much respite.

1998

Wonderful Joseph, beautifully written, metered and rhymed. As we get older, we all tend to look back and wistfully recall the joys, and tears, of youth. Poignant too. Excellent.

The frabic of which dreams are made. Transitory, yet of the greatest value. Great poem, Joe.

Good and almost a sonnet. Most lines are only 4 feet or 8 syllables. Read my sonnet - Sonnet Beyond Love - Adeline
