To Daydream Is to Stir the Pot of Hope

July 29, 2018

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is fantasy and dream.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A number poem about the significance of daydreams:

To daydream is to stir the pot of hope.
What we most want is up upon a stage,
Eliciting a self-vicarious pleasure.
Nor should we deprecate such homespun treasure,
The source of much delight at any age.
Years pass, yet dreams with dreamers still elope.

Fear not to dream, for dreams are not mere leisure:
Imagination gives one room to cope,
Vivid in its scenes of love and rage
Even as it makes one's world to measure.
