In my Search on Fresh Ideas on How to Write a poem, I discovered this informaton on Bruce Lansky's Website.


What a wonderful article by Bruce Lanksy. I hope you enjoy his poem and insight as much as I did.

How to Write a Dream Poem


When you're asleep, the logical part of your brain is shut off while the wild and crazy part of your brain does whatever it wants. That's why poems about dreams can be so much fun. They can be rich in creative imagery or "wouldn't it be great if..." wish lists.

I think my favorite dream poem was published in Sweet Dreams. It was inspired by a Robert Louis Stevenson poem my mother used to read when she'd tuck me into bed.

My Bed is Like a Sailing Ship

My bed is like a sailing ship-
when I'm tucked in, I take a trip.
I leave behind my busy day
and sail to places far away.


I sail past beaches, gleaming white,
with palm trees swaying in the night.
I watch the waves break on the shore,
and then I see my bedroom floor!


I blink my eyes, I scratch my head-
my ship is home, I'm back in bed.
My ships goes sailing every night
and sails home in the morning light...

Born of their seeds, kingdom will rise against kingdom, one will hold great mysteries, one will turn the tide and one will not be bound. War is fought, not only on the field but also within the mind. Nothing is what it seems take nothing for granted.
