    .... Has finally arrived!!!
    Here's a quote I stole from this well executed collection of poems;
    '' Go to sleep, don't tarry
    Dreams will come your way. The Sandman waves his lantern
    To help you on your way. ''

    What can I say John, it’s Dream-y!
    I’ve considered including the Cranberries song more than once, so glad that you’ve included; great song.
    I am a big fan of your poetry!

      Hello AB, thank you for reading theses poems and your generous comment. Yes, when I saw the prompt “dreams” that song was one of the first I thought of.

    John
    In your article "Poetry for Dreamers" you've included three poems.

    I love the idea of your poem "The Twilight Zone"

    It is great to have a place that is yours and yours alone.
    Somewhere that our dreams can come true.

    Anything we can imagine is possible.

    And when we wake up...

    We may have answers to the questions or
    emerged victorious over demons we fought.

    "Follow Your Dreams " is a great poem reminding us to never give up.

    If we have a dream in our heart,  it will come true...if we just keep going.

    Don't let anyone else sway you away from your heart's desire.

    In "You're Dream is My Dream" you paint us a picture of two people in love who put their heartache and pain away when they go to sleep.

    Their dreams magically join together as they travel through life and dreamland.

    Each day they are everything to one another... from the night to the moon; the sun and the day,  where their hearts would feel empty and grey if the other one wasn't there anymore.

    Great poetry John.

    I'm not sure which one I like the best.

    They are all written in a different way...which makes them all unique and wonderful.

    Thanks for touching our hearts.

    I'll post a link in the word prompt article.

      Brenda, I really enjoyed the challenge of writing a response to the prompt “dreams” and I wanted my poems to all be unique from one another in both firm and content. I greatly appreciate your interpretation of each and am glad you enjoyed what I wrote. Thank you for sharing.

    John, you have outdone it again! I love all your poetry. I want to use my favorite and special words to describe your poetry. Yes, they are mesmerizing and ornamental indeed! You remind us to dream again and again and show us the significance of dreaming. I definitely like the messages in your poetry. Thank you for sharing.

    Thanks, Chrish, for sharing John's poetry.

    Wonderful poems John. In the 1st poem, you mention the mysterious area of dreams as the Twilight zone, where we always emerge victorious, come what may. The other two poems talk about following our dreams against adversity and going on a journey of love and harmony through the invisible connection of drives.Beautifully said John

    Thanks, Tresty, for sharing John's work.

    Thank you for resharing your response, Rosina. I must have somehow missed it the first time. I love those words “mesmerizing” and “ornamental.” I don’t recall my poetry being called that before. I am glad you loved these poems. I greatly appreciate your comment.

    Hello John,
    What a beautiful collection of poems, each one highlighting a different interpretation to the word, Dreams.
    While The Twilight zone poem is special for me, I often say to my children, Follow your dreams. So this one is true to my sentiments.
    As always, excellent work.
    Thank you for sharing.
    Thank you Chrish.

    I loved all three of your dream poems, John. It is a lovely gruop and I like that each one is a bit different. I thought the poem about following your dreams had a great message, but the thrid poem was my favorite.

    Thanks for posting John's poems, Chrish.
