Into Your Brimming Dream Comments

Hah! Isn’t poetry just wonderful? So concise and economical. Now you know you can say ‘harbinger’ instead of ‘persons or things announcing the arrival of something’. And ‘miasma’, well there you have it, another contribution to the ‘fancy’ section of your vocabulary. I’m sure you’ll be able to impress some of your more educated girlfriends with that one! You won’t look up Ariadne? Well, you’ll miss out on that one: wonderful tale from the Greek mythology: Perseus managed to find his way out of the Minotaur’s labyrinth with the help of Ariadne’s thread, which just gave me an idea to improve on the imagery, the gist of the whole thing being that the narrator finds himself trapped in a labyrinth. And no, no mushrooms were hurt during the writing of this poem. I really only indulge in the eating of the champignon variety, preferably in my spaghetti sauce. Crescent: moon goddess; feminine force, wisdom, etc. And in the poet’s quirky mind his muse/savior/archetypal superwoman will eventually help him leave his ‘nightmare’ life through a ‘crescent door’ into a, hopefully, happier dream, since her dreams are so rich they are always ‘brimming’ over. Your comments are always a treat, and in this case, I believe I just managed to improve the poem thanks to them. Arigato!
