The Poets Dare to Dream

Dedicated to all the Poets at the WC

The poets dare to dream

They give their visions voice

They sing of sighs and butterflies

And make the heart rejoice

 

The poets dare to dream

They tell their thoughts to soar

At their command words take a stand

Upon a stormy shore

 

The poets dare to dream

They lift the wings of prayer

They share their souls and lofty goals ~

Long live the poets’ dare!

Author's Note

Keep daring to dream, my friends! :)

This is a beautiful tribute. Daring to dream, daring to think, daring to say those things that no one wishes to hear, daring to expose the ugly, the neglected, the forgotten. We dare with every line and the precipice becomes steeper, the air thinner. It is what makes us feel alive.

[Rita L. Sev]

It is, indeed. Thanks, Minichinz!

Yes indeed, this is very beautiful! You are so right about all poets, we dream and write and the passion shines through.

Well now, what can I say here that's hasn't already been said? This is a much-needed breath of fresh air, a moment to stop and take stock of the whole situation...to say this is inspiring would be wildly obvious...it's like having someone tell you that it's all worth the trouble you know? Beautiful work Rita, and a pretty ingenious form to boot ;)

[Rita L. Sev]

Love the tempo and movement of this piece, each verse kept the heartbeat/melody intact. very cool my friend. This one was as easy to sing as it was to read. I'll give you an A+ on this one.
