Comment from Heather Knight
I love your poem even though it's possibly too high-brow for me.
My favourite verses are the first and the last for two reasons:
- they create a sense of completeness, the poem comes full circle.
- I can relate. The first stanza describes a big part of my personality.
Very well written. Thanks so much.

Jim,
This is a good club entry about how dreams can cause pain if they don't come true of if those in your dreams betray you. It seems this has happened in this poem. The quest for love is an ongoing one and should not be given up on.
Keep writing and stay heatlhy

Comment from lyenochka
You're so efficient to use the Potlatch Club challenge for the Picture Club poem! I don't know that form well but it seems you repeated the word itself and repeated two lines from the first stanza which gives it a feeling of completion. A very impressionistic poem about dreams and love that fits the picture!

lyenochka, thank you for commenting on the poetic license I employed to merge the two club prompts.

It's almost like a blank verse, but with the exception of rhymes from previous stanzas working their way progressiingly through the poem, cleverly keeping the author on his toes, you've done it commandingly Jim, well done, blessings Roy

Comment from Goodadvicechan
Impossible dreams...,
Everyone has dreams. When dreams are delivered, people are excited and happy.
Only practical dreams can be delivered. Impossible dreams are Impossible to deliver.
I agree with you that Dreaming impossible dreams can hurt tender hearts.
Thanks for sharing

Thank you~
Comment from Donna G. (aka Sam Duck)
This required two readings to figure out the cool thing you did in the last stanza. I read the requirements for a Domino Rhyme, which was difficult enough - but ending with a stanza that used a line from each previous stanza (AND STILL MAKES SENSE) is truly inspired. Your theme is relatable, your rhyme scheme matches the requirements, and this is an overall outstanding poem!

Thank you for sharing this club entry with us. Also thank you for the author's notes. I was not familiar with this poetic form, but in my humble opinion you nailed it with this beautifully written poem.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
You did a great job with this complex style for the club, JLR.
You expressed your thoughts and feelings well about impossible
dreams. Those dreams can, and do, cause issues--sometimes
unintentionally. You adhered nicely to the rhyme scheme. The
repeated lines in the last verse worked.
Thanks for participating, Jan

The author's words are thought provoking, interesting, clear, descriptive
and creative. I like how the author leads the reader to the last stanza of stating "Dreaming impossible dreams can hurt tender hearts". So True! These words flow and connect well. The artwork is awesome! Great Poem!

Comment from Scott Rhodie
I'll be honest the technicalities of this particular piece is a little beyond me, but the bottom line is that I've enjoyed the poetry. It's romantic poetry I hope about possibly never achieving those impossible dreams, but we must always try.
