And I'm Dreaming

And I'm Dreaming

 
I am my very own published book
well, aren’t you?

I mean, there’s
pages of grief
pages of sorrow
and loads about regret

oh yes and of course my exceptional happiness
lines including the old devil himself
and of angels too

sometimes
in some chapters
hell, I’ve even questioned evolution
well, haven't you?

Yes, my curiosity
takes up quite a few lines
I've written about loyalty
of finding love, of losing love

I even have some
written in virus verse and rhyme 
I’ve written of the stars and the moon
my greatest happiness and of my darkest gloom

In comedy no less 
just ask pinocchio 
 
I've many chapters
and more to come
adding new pages along the road
why does she do it?
I hear you ask?

because my friend...

I’m a hummingbird
and I’m dreaming.

Great choice of bird dear Shirley. The only one I believe that can fly forwards, backwards even upside down. And isn't that what we do as poets? Contort ourselves into shapes so we can revisit the past or become someone else. 
Yes we have, and will continue to, question evolution and i love the line about "virus verse (great alliteration) and rhyme." The best news in your poem? 
Come on it's obvious to anyone who loves your poetry as I do. 4 words on a line. That's all I'll say. 
Great poem to wake up to on a lovely sunny day - but cold. Have a wonderful day my dear friend. Yesterday was noisy, wet and hot. But they had a great time. 🌹🌹

Good morning dear Bernie, I write about the hummingbird quite a lot, and a poet once asked what spirit animal I was, and i had no clue, so after some easy research i found i was actually the hummingbird myself, as usual your wonderful review is so informative and I love the lines you have generously chosen,  ever evolving my work and truly appreciate always your beautiful words dear friend, here the heat has finally arrived, glad you are getting some sunshine too dear friend. Happy Sunday 🌹

You are very welcome dearest Shirley. My words reflect those they are reviewing. Yes i believe in spirit animals. Mine is the wolf. Glad you picked up on the 4 words to which I was referring. 
Have a great warm day. I'll be wrapping up to go fence painting later on. 🌹🌹
