Fools and Dreams

by abracadabra   Oct 24, 2007


She told him,
I love you,
You are as beautiful as a dream.
And he told her,
I love you,
You are a dream that is beautiful.

She was outraged.
I am not a dream! I am real!
Love me as the woman I am,
Not as a notion, or a colour, or a song!

He only stared at her,
She turned and walked away.

She thought,
He was a fool to turn me into a dream.
And he thought,
She was a dream that turned me into a fool.

    I wont talk about how the flow of the opening lines, already suggested.

    sO just let me talk only about the concept which I really loved, was more like a lyrical story.
    with a gd message.

    nothin to complain about, only suggests rewording it in a more poetic way

    5/5 still

    You know I'm getting a little bit sick of you writing poems about me sweetie, I mean it's charming and all to pen a dittie about our online love...but, really, a set of naked pics would have been more appropriate.

    I like this poem, but i felt that whatever you were writing about was too fresh and close to you, and it limited the metaphor and depth you could have put into this....not a negative point, some poems are meant to be raw....

    You know what I mean.

    Still, who can write about me without some angelic script....you did well.
