Dreams

In time, all men must come to terms with dreams and cast off all they crave that true life stomped yet still hold joy’s sure seeds in hope lined seams lest all their heart holds dear just ails flat chomped. We do and should build dreams in life with zeal but must well bind our dreams with prime ground ties that will not lose or bruise our dreams pitched feel but hold our soul’s core glow where good light sighs. Some dreams are mere flight trips our minds need take to keep our thoughts from scenes that rip our hearts, then there are dreams we wish for earth’s own sake where peace and love may paint their best toned starts. Some dreams are meant as heart cheer, mind reared sways. Some dreams are meant as heart cheer, mind steered stays. ... CayCay September 22, 2019

You honor me with your interesting entry of a subject matter that has vague interpretation, whereto, you challenged it through this sonnet, with my compliments to your placement ~ Aloha always William

This is skillfully expressed. I didn’t realize that it was all single syllables until reading the other comments. Bravo! Hugs Rick.

Hi CayCay, You have penned such a well written Sonnet. I enjoyed it from start to finish. Dreams are very important to have, they motivate us to reach our full potential. Without them life would very dull. This is a winner in my eyes. I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis

Caycay, I see you mastered iambic pentameter in this one. It is looking good! that was a most interesting ending couplet with the mind reared sways and the mind steered stays. Loved that! I just reread the first part, and it's SO true. I used to have flying dreams but they are dead and gone because of this idea you wrote about: In time, all men must come to terms with dreams and cast off all they crave that true life stomped. That part rings so sadly true for me.
