Lovely poem Victoria, without dreamers nothing would be created.

This poem, "IF ONLY TO REFLECT" strikes up the reader's imagination and prods nostalgic memories.

A true poem poemized with real life's emotions and mixed with emotions from knowledge of a mature and sage heart.

I have enjoyed a pleasing reading.

Love the serenity of this one, Victoria...very well done!

Just remember: when a writer is caught 'daydreaming' he or she can claim to be working...

We can grow up Victoria but when we stop dreaming, that is growing old. Keep dreaming.

A very good example of free verse and one which gives the lie to the critics who say that free verse is only "cut-up prose."

By the use of appropriate repetitions, images that will resonate with all dreamers (and aren't we all...dreamers?), a unique style and sincere tone, you have expressed your theme in a poem that is a delight and a revelation to read.

Don't we all feel like eleven, if we honest? Then we look in the mirror and say, "Don't look eleven, but inside I am." Good thought provoker.

all writers would probably be 'accused' of daydreaming..too bad in school it's so frowned upon. I love to daydream still and naturally slip into netherworlds.*~:) Thanks for the reminder..beautifully expressed.*S*S

Fantastic!!!! What would come of us if we quit dreaming. I reflect and compare so many of life's little twist. Dreaming keeps me sane.

perfect poetry, like this poem, doesn't take a lot of painful introspection nor lofty words to confound and confuse. it flows smoothly, rhythmically, as waves on the beach washing away the footprints from the day's work. Victoria has captured the essence of this simplicity in this poem, reflected it in the image above and then gone on to another work. it's a glorious tribute, Victoria, fitting to show forth the prose of refined poetry without the interventions of mankind. Total, complete and a prayer of reverence.

Liked this one. I am a day dreamer and pretender and have a great imagination. You have to have these in order to be a poet. Otherwise my poetry would be pretty dull. Del
