Question: This poem should be titled a little, positioned with lamppost akimbo, don't you think!?
*****
My poor, deprived dream!.
by TD Euwaite

If I dream a dream
and it does come true…
Who’s to blame!?

My dream didn’t have
the same opportunities that other
dreams are born to dream!.

My dream looks like somebody else!.
My dream can sing and dance!.
My dream is a special dream!.

Not the person you see dreaming…
But the dream itself…

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
But is a dream a mimic of another's eternal!?
Will it be denied its own differences
in a horde of cliche's!.
Deprived no,
your dream still
burns bright,
though perhaps not for the world,
but you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Once that lamppost gets untitled and tilted, we can explore the two-layered dream or hallucination to determine what is real or concrete and what is imaginary or transitory!. What do we get when a dream dreams a dream!? As for me, I'm getting a headache!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Blame not the dreamer but the dream!. Interesting!. Wishing for something and getting it, with the implication it may not be right, akimbo to the straight and right!. I will have to dream on this!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I hope you understand how difficult it was to not break into an Elvis number here!.!.!.

Makes you wonder though!.!.!.
If a dream could dream!.!.!.
What would it dream!.!.!.!?
Of a world of equal opportunities for all dreams!.!.!.!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

That is an excellent theme for a story -- more from you to build a plot within a plot!. It has so much potential for poetry and prose!. As it is -- it is like a Mobius Strip and worth the constant contemplation!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I guess I cannot blame anyone, the lamp post is sitting straight in my yard, and none of the nightmarish dreams have come true!. Of course none of the others have either!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I blame the warped genie of the lampost for being so graphic!.

And you rubbed it to hard by the way!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Indeed, who is to blame if a dream comes true!? Well said!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Contradiction but one worth thinking about!. Dreams have a part of the dreamer in them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
