Question: How can I improve this dreaming poem!?
Dreaming of You
by Elaine P
As couples lay abed last night
I dreamed I had you here,
I dreamed we traveled far away
Beyond the atmosphere!.
I looked into your loving eyes
And thought “this is not true,”
I knew my dreams were telling lies,
How could I be with you!?
You wrote me poetry that soared
But never will they see,
Our secrets always will be stored
As my sweet memory!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
*****
I rattle on my tambourine
With tassels pink and green
I tune guitars and violins
Inside my Martian dream
I sit and serenade for you
A song with longing words
Refrains with lusty overtones
Crescendo, quite absurd
I sing my solo opera
From Brooklyn to the moon
I beat a drum of thoughtfulness
Play love on the bassoon
Before we land
Please take my hand
Our ship has run its course
Safely here, on Martian sand
I'll honor you with verse
*****

This is so nice!. I read it and immediately see that it can be meant for anyone!. As I read, it seems you are talking to me, and as someone else reads, it will seem to be for them!. If your name was AlanP instead of ElaineP, then the ladies could take it as meant for them!. It is universal in concept and execution, and epitomizes the essence of true poetry!. Thank you for writing such a wonderful piece!. See you on Mars tonight in our dreams!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You ask a tough question because after looking at this for some time I don't see anything to change!.
I especially like "Beyond the atmosphere!." (cool phrasing)
So, the best I can say is thanks for the read it looks like a strong piece to me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Perhaps in some sweet day beyond,
we'll meet among the stars,
the poetry you wrote for me
will come to life on Mars!.
I felt the need to respond poetically!. Thank you so much for this beautiful dreaming poem!. I think it needs no improvement!. Thank you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
As a tear falls from my eyes, I must say this needs no improvement!. It is touching and emotional!. I think of either a sad widow or a newly divorced woman, longing for the love she lost!. Beautiful!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
It's a very lovely poem and I love that feeling you share, but I do want to mention one thing!. The last stanza does not have the same meter and the first and second!. Not that it changes the beauty of the poem!. It's still a wonderful poem!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
