World of Dreams - Inspired by an essay by Tina Yu
A blank Slate, so pure so,
Unassuming so,
Lifeless.
I want to pour feeling into it, to create
My own world,
Where solitude and isolation give way to great thoughts,
Where I can breathe the reality of Red and Orange,
A blank Canvas, a blank world.
All I will do is start it.
Just let the rest of the colors bleed into themselves, and
Fill in the rest.
I once said a while back I was writing something called Reach for Glory. It was to be based off of the idea that inspired the original blog title -- Reach for Glory. I never finished it, for some reason, I couldn't write anything worthwhile of it. After changing the name to something that means more to me now, I have.
DreamMares
The sudden crack of Silence
Awakes me from one nightmare only to open up into another.
Every single second spent asleep, suffering of
Dreams.
Every dream is of things unseen, unpossessed, but wanted so dearly.
When all is perfect but,
So short.
There is always the road not taken.
The road left alone.
The road left forgotten.
The road of which I am so unwilling to let go in order to try and jump,
Jump to the next road.
The realization of what I can't have.
Does it end, does dream become reality?
To wake up with my dreams in front of me, to be able to see in reality.
Midnight Dreams.
It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring. -Carl Sagan
Times change, worlds change, but people, people never change.
What had started as an arduous project is now one of my passions. I love to write; this is where I try to paint pictures--with words. I'm a sophomore in high school, if you're wondering.

I like DreamMares alot, World of Dreams is good too. The first section of DreamMares is SO good! My favorite part of probably anything you've ever written. I feel like the middle section is just kind of thrown in there, because the first and last sections both connect but the middle section confuses me a little. I love it, keep writing.
you knowww i love World of Dreams because you captured the very essence of my paper
i like that intro for dreammares; it gave me more insight to the poem and adds depth to it
'to wake up with my dreams in front of me, to be able to see in reality'
i think you need a purple crayon, dilbird :)
introvert & passion, its a winning combination
These are difficult words to use -- not concrete. My first reaction is I wanted to read more concrete images to place me where you wanted me to be as your reader. The execution of the poem is more mature than some of your other work, and that is way cool. But I can't get past wanting to have a more concrete images to work with. Also, I like the author's note, as my class has been doing that too and I find it insightful, and helpful. I would recommend there that you place the author's note into italics, or some other font to better set it apart from the other writing.
