Variations - Words edition...

[Bloodandglitter]

That's really good. Very clever

Wow, thank you! I was being very dorky!

 

[Saltfountain]

Wow, thank you! I was being very dorky!

I am still trying to do something similar...

 

[ScarletDaisy]

When awake, I remember pieces…
Echoes from earlier nights’ work.
Like smoke, the memories fade.
Yet I can still recall
Enough of them to
Make me yearn for
The places
I have
Been.

 

[ScarletDaisy]

I see loved ones I’ve lost in my dreams
Except for the one I loved most
Why can’t he come and see me
Let me know he’s all good
It’s only a dream
come and kiss me
Just once more
Goodbye
Love

Isn't it amazing when we see them in our dreams? When I see my mom, I don't realize that it's special until I wake up, and wish I had realized while I was still dreaming.

 

[Saltfountain]

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
We all are living in a dream
Dream a little, I'll dream on
What do you dream about?
Dreams of loneliness
Dreams can come true
Sweet dreams are
Made of
This

 

[barefootgirl69]

Dreams are like soft whispered promises
Some - easily attainable
And a platform for more dreams
While others are like stardust
Hard to get hold of
Misty thoughts
So dream
Oft


I'll keep practicing!
Okay, one more edit and I think it will be finished!

I’m on a vacation in Ireland
It’s a land of Guinness and dreams
I’ve had a few pints today
A pub called the dying cow
Great craic and good food
Now in the mood
For dreaming
Good night
Now

 

[Bloodandglitter]

I am still trying to do something similar...

I could always do a Tim one too.

 

[Saltfountain]

I could always do a Tim one too.

FIFY

Is that pub name meant to be read in local dialect? The Dy'n' Cow?

Indeed it is… only the one syllable in the local dialect.. Thanks for clarifying that mate

There's a pizza place called the Cross-eyed Cow near here, on Route 66. These cow names are strange!

 

[Saltfountain]

When I was a young boy I dreamed of
Playing football, joining a band,
Or travelling into space.
Now that I am grown up
I dream of being
An astronaut,
Footballer,
Or rock
Star

 

[Bloodandglitter]

I like someone, a certain Litster
He tells me I am beautiful
His captivating blue eyes
Makes my soul melt inside
I'm glad our paths met
To hear his voice
I quiver
I feel
Swoon

 

[AngelicaS1780]

My dreams are not often romantic
Although I long to meet you there.
Battles to vanquish demons.
Running late through airports
An endless cast of
Faces when all
I want to
See is
You.

 

[EvaLane]

Saturated in violet hues
I tell myself it was a dream
superstitions lead to clues
I plead - what does it mean
were you there, was I
were you gone, why
was it bye
or hi
please

 

[Saltfountain]

You were always the girl of my dreams
Unattainable perfection
You could have been a model
You could have ruled empires
You could have been mine
Had you only
Just been more
Than a
Dream

 

[37_ttej]

With minor tweaks, the closing stanza of the R.E.M. classic fits this form quite well.

I thought that I had heard you laughing,
I then thought that I heard you sing.
I think that I saw you try
But that was just a dream.
Try, cry, fly, try - that
Was just a dream,
Just a dream,
Just a
Dream.

 

[37_ttej]

Enough of my bitching and back to the OP about things we hate.
Wait, that’s still bitching ain’t it?
Oh, well …

I don’t like reading at night
As my dreams suffer from blight.
Through visions did flit
This fat, mangy slit!
I haven’t recovered from fright!

It’s more of a nightmare than a dream,
This recurrent horrific sight.
Can’t escape the awful theme
I wake in sweat each night
Haunted by engorged flaps
And mangy wild hairs
I can’t relapse
Amber’s
Twat!

So close...

 

[Cjbdd]

Dreams must change the older you become
Once frivolous and out of reach
Now I dream to be happy
Yes happy and content
It could be my time
It’s up to me
No one else
So try
Now

 

[Saltfountain]

This one is also an acrostic...

Down and down I fall, seeing the ground
Rushing towards me, but never
Ever landing. The vision
Always changes before
My eyes. Another
Location, the next
Installment.
Knowledge
Ends

 

[Poeticwolf]

Just a shadow walking 'cross my soul
her fingertips caress my lips
those soft words, where did you go?
my hands clasping her hips
sand pouring a flow
the cup she sips
I don't know
if it's
so

 

[MiaBabe23]

Yes, I can’t deny the obvious,
You’ve touched me like no other can,
And twisting here in your breeze,
It doesn’t change the dream,
Aching for those words,
So how is it,
You don’t grasp
Me here,
Now

 

[37_ttej]

So close...

Jett blushes with shame. He cannot count.
So sleep-deprived he quite forgot
Each line’s a reduced amount
Of syllables. But what
To do to surmount
Such further rot?
Check the count.
AT LEAST
TWICE!
