when a dream becomes a reality

it was a dream

we never thought

would become reality

it seemed too far fetched

like touching stars

in the night sky

 

yet this dream came

to life – living, breathing

outside our hearts

I no longer close my eyes

when the dream now

lies in front of me

revolution

they raise fists into air

as feet march across ground

they seek to turn the ocean’s tide 

threatening to down them out

 

with their eyes on the horizon

they seek a revolution

in the rising sun that will

transform the color of the sky

 

 

- Written for dVerse Quadrille #174: You say you want a revolution

 

heartbreak

I want to recall

the beauty of your warm eyes

but my heart still breaks

 

 

- A senryu written for 2023 April PAD Challenge Day 11.  The challenge was to write a form and/or anti-form poem.

 

 

zooming to connect

she wanted to stay connected

to friends she curated in life

so she hosted Zoom parties

to fill in the loneliness of

pandemic isolation

 

she had fun but still missed

the touch of their hands

the warm hugs and the

scent of floral perfume

 

 

- This poem is a combination of two prompts that seem similar to me.  dVerse Quadrille #173: Zoom Poems and 2023 April PAD Challenge Day 3:connection poem
