Dreams

What happens to a dream,
After you dream it?
 

At first I thought they flowed down a stream
With everyone else's dream
But then I thought
That would be silly
How would they keep them apart,
For all the dreams would merge into one.
 

So then I figured
Maybe they just fall to the floor
And when it's opened they fly out the door
With a wiz and a whoosh
Never to be dreamt again
 

So what happens to a dream,
After you dream it?
 

Do they disappear forever,
Or are they sitting in the back of your mind
Collecting dust?

Hi there Page! :) Glad to review today.

I loved the very first question, and frankly, I thought most of what you went onto was great too, in fact, I just wanted a little more! With that said here are my corrections.

(I'm not sure how this works with the new website so I am just going to put corrections in [brackets]... No colors :( )

So yeah.... The biggest thing is just punctuation. Just remember that poems need punctuation too! Line breaks are not meant to be act like a comma, so put the comma in. :) I loved how lighthearted and fun this was, even though it still managed to propose a fairly serious question. It makes people think and that is awesome. I do think it needs more but it is a great start!

I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness. A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good... then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor - such is my idea of happiness.
