When I went to bed last night I dreamed I was a worm,

It's a fabulous poem! Wonderful poetic imagination! I liked the opening stanza most! ...When I went to bed last night I dreamed I was a worm/Beneath the ground in fertile soil happily I did roam/In a world where there was no caste, class or creed/Devoid of wicked deeds or sinister thoughts to breed.....i call this a beautiful piece of poetry!
Magnificent poem, Loke. It has a certain quality. I can't describe it, but this really reminds me of William Blake's A Dream. Well done.
i'll worm this poem into August's showcase. Thanks. and i'm going to note the tittles misspelling! i don't want the whole of PH learning to spell titles incorrectly! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! but i'll leave it tittles, as i am not editing the poems anymore! Thanks. bri :)
Thanks Bri, I will not be able to survive without your editing! So please don't stop.
Thanks Bri, but please don't stop editing my poems, we natives from foreign lands need your service to survive in PH! !
Emerging from this mouldy world I came to realise, All life forms however low we must not hastily despise. Hidden in their simple ways there's much for us to learn, For man is full of vices which are cause for much concern. - - - - - - - - -Such a wonderful perspective.Thanks for sharing.
An amazing poem! You have a big heart, Loke To be able to look at the world from the perspective of a worm is the highest virtue. To quote: All of us were equal and we all looked quite the same, None of us held tittles and we don't even have a name. There never was a temper lost or anger to display, For brawling and disputes were simply not our way. Thank you Loke, for these profound thoughts.100+++
You must have dug really deep to find this poem which had been written long ago. Much appreciated and many thanks for your kind comments.
Loke, I am so impressed with your poem. Such simplicity of life described enviably. Thank you for sharing....10
In abundance wisdom is woven through these words. We can learn from many different aspects and you my poet friend have strategically brought forth much by using a tiny worm...impressive to say the least...10
You have stuffed wisdom in the mouth of a worm! This poem has greater values than a hundred sermons can provide! A classless and caste less society where everyone lives in love and harmony is the most beautiful dream one can ever have! Enjoyed this poem of such lofty thoughts!
Superb dream, I wish we live in a world which u saw in dreams..No cast, creed, colour, region or religion to segregate us.......A very thoughtful poem, I really enjoyed it.10+++
This is such a stunning, wonderful poem. Reminds me of Blake's A Dream. Thanks for sharing.
a wonderful poem of the need to learn and to go back to the basics so that all people can live in harmony? ...........well written Loke
