POEM STARTER

Compose a poem which contrasts the world of dreams with the harshness of reality.

You can choose any style that you think is appropriate.

Dreams

I hug you

You hug me back

But I hang on a tad longer because I know it won’t last forever

I know you’ll be gone soon

But then suddenly I wake up

I come to the sad realization that it was a dream

Forever a fairytale that won’t ever come true

I hold myself hoping

Hoping I can feel your burning touch still on my skin

Hoping I can imagine what it feels like to be hugged by you once again

But the dream is fading

And so is your touch

So I go through the day with a overcast hovering over me

A sadness tinting my heart

And as the hours go by

I just keep thinking of that dream

Thinking of my reality

Realizing that you will never be apart of a living memory again

I continue to close my eyes throughout the day

Just wishing

Wishing I could hold you in my arms again

And that I would never wake up

Because it would be my life

That is my wish

That If I dream of you I would never have to wake up

But more importantly I wish to feel your love again I wish to feel you in my arms as if you never left
