Poem of the Month: July 2002

In Praise of Dreams In my dreams I paint like Vermeer van Delft. I speak fluent Greek and not only with the living. I drive a car which obeys me. I am talented, I write long, great poems. I hear voices no less than the major saints. You would be amazed at my virtuosity on the piano. I float through the air as is proper, that is, all by myself. Falling from the roof I can softly land on green grass. I don't find it hard to breathe under water. I can't complain: I've succeeded in discovering Atlantis. I'm delighted that just before dying I always manage to wake. Right after the outbreak of war I turn over on my favorite side. I am but I need not be a child of my time. A few years ago I saw two suns. And the day before yesterday a penguin. With the utmost clarity. - Wislawa Szymborska Journal prompts: Write about a dream you've had recently, or one that you return to often. Complete one or more of the following:      In my dreams: I ...................      I am gifted, I ...................      I hear .....................      It's a pleasure, always to................      .................would simply amaze you.
