Still Dreaming

Beautiful! You still can wake up there .. just go within and remember and relive.. ❤️

I love what you did with language in this piece — The internal rhyme and The rhythm. Captures The attitudes within the poem. I am a sucker for puns, and this line in particular:

I was born in an old curiosity shop

down by the river

_razed_ by the city down to the ground

now there’s a wasteland

The use of the word "raised" is brilliant and my brain is holding so much with that one word. There are no words. Well, there are, but I can't come up with them right now. 🫤

Thanks Deb, yeah I love puns too, all word play is fun isn’t it? Thanks for the comment 😊🙏💛

This is amazing!

I love how eclectic your words are, so many different moods 💖💖

The class rage is so specific. And the final turn almost bursts into song.

I’m auditioning for the local amateur dramatic society…sound of music next show😂😉

There’s something deeply moving about the way memory becomes a place we keep returning to. “But the river never forgets” was the line that stayed with me. Thank you for sharing such an honest piece.

Thank you 🙏😊
