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! :)

I liked the repetition of "The poets dare to dream" in each stanza. Yes, we do dare to dream because we see things others tend to overlook. Not sure we can all command words as well as you can, but we do dabble with them....and we enjoy it. Wonderful poetry here. Lydi**

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you so much, Lydi - believe me, you do more than dabble!

[Will]

The repetition of the first line sets a solid tone for the rest of the piece, and you execute very naturally flowing rhymes. You display the wonder and even audacity of poets to dream and to dare and it is a very fine display. Nicely done.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Will - I love your use of the word "audacity" here - yes, poetry is audacious! :)

[Will]

People tend to use that word in a negative context, but I fell like it can go both ways for sure.

[Dr. Wood ?]

hear hear...as we say in old England

[Rita L. Sev]

:) Thank you, Doc!

[Dr. Wood ?]

there was a lot of truth in that piece.......I sometimes curse my imagination, or rather my wife does...Crazy it is, but unstoppable

[Marie]

I don't dare to dream very high...

[Rita L. Sev]

We all dream where we are meant...

Although I write of more mundane things than sighs and butterflies, I like to think my goals are as lofty as you say. There is no doubt, though, that you are accurately describing yourself. Another splendid poem.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Rich - you certainly do write of lofty goal; and there is nothing mundane about baseballs, beards, and dandelions! :)

[Pryde Foltz]

Very, very nice. Huge fan of the second stanza, well done.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thanks, Pryde - stand firm!

[Sheila Kline]

Oh yes.........we must ever dream!! It is when we stop dreaming that we are defeated and I know of no better way to share it than in a poem, story, or piece of prose!
Thank you!!!

[Rita L. Sev]

This is lovely. I am proud to be a member of the WC fellowship...one of the poets who dares to dream.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem with me, Rita!!

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Angel - a fun and quirky fellowship it is! :)

[Angel]

It is that, my friend...but a very sweet and dear friend once called me "The Christian Poet of the WC"...and it made me so very proud. I wouldn't trade the time I've spent here for anything...
