Dream Within A Dream Comments

Really nice flow and put together

interesting poem - enjoyed it very much - nice to be able to go out of the box.

Your poem was a perfect remedy for a stress filled week. Fun. Suspenseful. Sad. Yet optimistic. Vivid imagery. And what a great ending! Very well done. Congrats!

Awesome a good read

Wow, poems like these remind me why I fell in love with poetry. You ignited my fascination with this troubled fairy then left me suddenly in suspense as you transcended into another dream. Your manipulation of words was magical.

Your precise description of the girl absorbed me into a dream.

you already have SO MANY comments! maybe you don't NEED another? but i guess i'll give ya one anyway. but first i had to be sure one of mine was not already submitted; ...not! NOW i suppose i'll have to read the poem, though after perusing the comments, i could probably come up with some passable comment WITHOUT reading the poem. i feel like i'm in a dream already. :) [ i actually had read the first stanza before writing what preceded this sentence, and it DID sound somewhat familiar. maybe you wrote something similar and i read IT? hmmm? ] ice cream cone horn... my favorite part...........was there ice cream dripping into its eyes? ? great rhyming! but i liked how you felt free (apparently) to vary the rhyme pattern towards the ending. in the last stanza, start/stop was at least as rewarding as a rhyme pair. and unicorn/horn, though perhaps predictable, was nice, especially with the ice cream reference. thanks for sharing. :) bri (ok, to MyPoemList)

hahaha.... lovely quite an unexpected turn....your unicorn appeared out of nowhere and with the desired effect... and a cone! :) your notes make it clearer... whimsical but fun. Even if it was your first attempt...you passed way ahead. I was drawn to the poem by the topic, since i too have a poem of the same name like the old master E E Poe... Your poem is far from the darker shades that Poe wrote, which makes it even more unexpected. but bravo, you did a great job v nice liked

Beautiful poem Colleen. Your poem is quiet interesting and it caught my attention till i finished reading the last line...Loved it.

Very novel write Colleen, and quite a fascinating little story.

nice poem...I was touched...dream within a dream...lovely title...

nice write, very touching, really...

Nicely knitted and i enjoyed it because there is always a suspence and that gets open when the dream breaks. I m also sometimes walking in some street away in the unknown land that has a name in the dream and when out of dream i find my on the bed and realize that the street in the dream resembles the one in my country. The things that we see, read and imagine only comes in the dream!

A romantic poem really

a dream in a dream was like walking on air and was something i'm glad you did share. a ten

Some poems create life as it is, this piece showed a lady's amorous desire - a handsome prince; Life dark side - love lost, the dead of Prince Handsome; and reality - life goes on after Handsome. This is nothing but the real side of life. You exposed life. Love this work

In life find the best. May be this is the moral of your fantastic poem what I found. Thanks

A nice piece of work; in a different direction. Thanks for sharing this poem with us. E.K.L.

Dreams within dreams. Lovely thought. They do exist and can be baffling. Well told story.

very interesting, it sounds more like a short story, but in style of a poem! Thanks for sharing, Colleen!
