All Comments on 'The Dream'

Hauntingly evocative! Your words and phrases take us to that reality that lies just beyond our grasp, that, just as we are about to joyfully seize it, runs through our fingers, and, except in memory, is gone. Bravo Maestra! You really deserve to be widely read! 5 stars.

@Anonymous Thank you very much! I really appreciate your feedback - very kind of you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. There are more stories and poems to come. I hope you'll check those out as well. Enjoy your day!

The image of rubbing sleep from eyes — we have all done so; nice connection. But unsure about “All gone and newly forgotten, but hovering …” so, not forgotten as remainder of poem attests. Did I miss something or … . Like your work - prose and poem.

@Migbird Thank you for the feedback. 🙂Much appreciated. What I was going for was that feeling when you know you dreamt something but you can't verbalize or even visualize it. All you have is the emotional impression left. In this case the dreamer also has the image of a man. However you make a good point. Maybe I should change it to "almost gone and forgotten..."? I'll ponder it 🙂 Thanks again 🙏

Just reread this poem and reflected on so many of my dreams — erotic or otherwise — left with the sometimes faint/sometimes striking impression but words/detail not remembered. That sense/feeling can be so memorable that the forgotten does not really matter. Make sense? Liked the poem/resonated.

@Migbird yes that absolutely makes sense. 😊 Thank you for rereading it. Have a great night!
