Poetry Is a Kind of Daydream
Often seeded by the gods
Poetry is a kind of daydream
for bold minds questing far
A journey down a winding river
sometimes peaceful, sometimes harsh.
Daydreams are a kind of poetry
often seeded by the gods
But never a fruit worth plucking
unless nourished by the heart.
Daydreaming is a gift we should never turn aside, especially when we hope to write poetry. Daydreaming helps us to discover the extraordinary in the ordinary, the pearl among the pebbles.
