Ciao sugarray !

Our daily fears can also weigh on us during our sleep causing us to have nightmares.

Those ghosts that haunt our dreams are simply our fears manifesting and transforming into scary figures. Our mind is a powerful ( at time scary) tool.

I found the theme interesting , cool artwork too.

I like your thoughts in this Tectractys poem, Melissa. As one that had very vivid dreams as a child I think I would say there are ghosts, but as an adult dreamer, I agree with the haunting shadows. Loved it,
cheers,
valda

    Thank you Valda. Dreams can mean so many things, but I know that when I am troubled my dreams are scary. I appreciate your reply!

Nice tectractys poem. I think you may be right. I have nightmares of being very far in the air on a bridge that the planks keep disapearing or on latter with the rungs breaking. I also dream of being nude in public. I'm sure those or connected to dark fear of falling and exposure.

    Oh my goodness Patricia. I pray that the Lord will cover those dreams with his anointing and presence and touch any part of your life that is fearful. Thank you for your review.

You did a good job with that poetic style. I counted the syllables and they matched what you were attempting to do. I love the dark shadows on the wall in your artwork.
It doesn't say where you found it but it definitely adds to the essence of the poem.
Thanks for sharing a new style of poetry.
Jesse

Never heard of a Tectractys poem, Melissa. Sometimes I think I'm so damn smart, then something like this comes along. Thanks for reminding me to realize what I really am.

They are and these shadows steal our rest at night when we let them. I recently had a procedure at the hospital that I feared and I had nightmares up until the event! Ha ha ha, glad it is now over! A fine post Melissa, love Dolly x x x

This is great. I like the "some say" and then the "I say" development. An excellent thought about dreams being the shadows of our darkest fears." Nice build-up from the one word to the ten. You did a terrific job with the format. judi

I agree. It's usually our fears that are revealed in different ways. I like the idea that ghosts are manifestations or shadows of our deepest fears and insecurities.

I like it! Yes, we all have some interesting dreams and hauntings from our past which could be some remnants of our fears from memories hidden in our subconscious.
