“Tell me how you lived your dream in some place, and I’ll tell you who you are.” ~Mahmoud Darwish
It started as just a 30-day dream dare with Mahmoud Darwish. It’s been 60 days, and I’m not done with him yet. This poetry dare arrived in two parts: first, read a poem a day from The Butterfly’s Burden and second, write some poems of my own, a handful spawned from my own dreams as well as four traditional “dreamlike” form poems.
Form poems. Oh my! I’ve written a couple in the past. I dreamed I could be done with them.
Apparently not…
Join me over at Tweetspeak Poetry where I finalize this dare (or not) and share some of my form poetry…
What forms are your dreams taking these days?
In the stillness,
Sandy
I’m a long-time dreamer, every time now. I’m in bed for about 11 hours… 9:30 or 10:00 at night to 8:30 or 9:00 in the morning. It’s a struggle. But the dreams are strong and I’m doing stuff all night long. I wonder if I’ll know them/me/others better when I’m in heaven. And, I’m truly a “wonderer”. Love the photos you shared and the info. Thanks, Sandy.
