Yes, relaxing among nature can bring on daydreams, Melissa.
The artwork looks like she is sleeping in the stream not just sitting next to it.
Congrats on placing third in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Nice little poem that encapsulates the essence of feeling. It thrusts the reader into a kaleidoscope of senses. We all know this feeling of dreams, and streams, and wish it happened more often.

Great structure and rhyme.

Keep up the good work!

Nice, Melissa. I do the same, but I only have trees, the closes water is about a mile and downhill through other trees and slippery snakes. :) I rather stay under the shade and daydream upon a star as the day passes by. This is a good offering for the Two Line Poem Contest.

    Thank you Jose. I am glad you get lost in the fascination of stars as you daydream down there in Texas. :)

"Untethered Dreams", is short, succinct and delightfully descriptive. With a minimum of words this talented poet has told it as it is. Good luck with the contest. Please let me know how you get on?

That says a lot in just two lines of poetry. That's the way I am also. I spend a lot of time in daydreams. I can do and be whatever I please in a daydream. Thanks for sharing.

Daydreaming is usually a pleasant experience in which people slip into wishful thinking while awake. I daydream all the time lying on the bed at home or anywhere. Daydreaming into harmful and at times turn out to be inspiring. I liked your short poem so elegantly penned. Good luck!

I love this poem. It is so beautifully written in merely two lines. I can see the image of you sitting by the stream day-dreaming. There was a swan in the water. The art is also very creative.

Well done.

    I have been busy and traveling. Took a trip to Utah and visited all five national parks. I have to write some poems about it.

Beautiful picture and love that title: "Untethered dreams." It's nice to let some daydreams take over and perhaps that's the seed of writing inspiration. Hope you do well in the contest!

    And you can daydream while gardening - a very portable way to be inspired!

I should stop reviewing your poems on Saturday when I have no six stars left. Unfortunately, Mary Ellis is asleep, and now is when I have time to review.
This is a good essence poem. Your internal and final rhymes are good, and the overall effect of your 12 syllables is beautiful. That photo really complements your poem.
Good luck in the contest with this one. Hope you live inside a few daydreams today.

Mel,

Ahhhhhh.... so peaceful... May I join you?

These seem like they could be the words of a fairy sprite. (yep, that's you!) She's been busy, busy with polinating flowers and arranging first dates with hummingbirds and butterflies and she is pooped! Time for a little well-deserved nap. And what does she do while resting? Oh, yeah - just think of more magic she can bring to life!

So fun! Thanks and good luck!
