Yeah, but what a flippin' brilliant dream, Jaq. I only ever have dreams about shopping in tescos and emptying the dishwasher!

Love the AABB rhyme scheme and the effortless flow to this beautiful poem. Marvellous alliteration in your first line and superb rhyming make this a joy to read.

It was well reem, babe! (sorry, I just thought as I am so effortless fluent with my Scottish, you might want to learn a bit of Essex speak).

Have a great day, Jaq. The sun is shining just outside of London, so I hope it is as nice in your part of the country.

Kindest of regards,

Julie :-)

Great rhyming couplets girl and a wonderful write. We can all have our love in a dream it appears. Sigh, now if the dreams all became real. Love this one:

Those smoky eyes were filled with lust,
to make him mine was such a must.

Ah yes the fantasy lover. Nothing wrong with living out a few pent up fantasies. The imagination is a wonderful thing and NO ONE can ever tell us what to think. Thank GOD the mind is private and there are a few things left we can keep to ourselves. There seems to always be one that got away or remains elusive. I've had it before and definitely used my mind on an occasion or two. Super rhyming couplets in a rhythm all of their own. Well done and I'm sure plenty of women AND men could relate to this.
Cheers P

Aw shucks, just when it was getting interesting. I think his hair would be a bit tickly though. Get him a hairband!
Nice fishing metaphors.
Do you mind me making a small suggestion? The meter is pretty strong, but I think you could make it even stronger in the fourth verse with a re-ordering of the words. See what you think of:

His body language, tell-tale signs,
his need for me cast fishing lines.

Maybe it doesn't say quite what you meant, in which case please ignore, but I think it would scan slightly better.

Best wishes, and thanks for sharing the dream!
Sally

Oh the dreams we have, the fantasy if takes us on, and the dare not's we dare to do. I thought this was very good. Great rhyme in this poem with a tie back to the title. Great work.

Very clever ending to such a romantic write, Jaq.

I'm sure you don't care, LOL, but apart from TWO lines, the meter is excellent:

'to make him mine, truly a must' Maybe [to-MAKE-him-MINE-was-SUCH-a-MUST]

'This lover is mine only in dreams'. Maybe [this-LOV-er's-MINE-but-JUST-in-DREAMS]

Nice one, Jaq.

Cheers, Ray

    Awwwww Ray what would I do without you? My own wee mertonome. I've changed them and it makes it so much better. Thanks so much xxx

    No probs, Jaq.

    You must have a natural 'ear' for emphasised beats, as the rest is so well metered. xx
