tonyv Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 I'm impressed with how you've taken what I would have ignored as a cliche, not very exciting prompt (hopes and dreams) and elevated it into the realm of the poetic with this unexpected and lovely picture. It's short and sweet, and the title is perfect. Very nice work. Tony Quote Here is a link to an index of my works on this site: tonyv's Member Archive topic
Tinker Posted January 1, 2018 Author Posted January 1, 2018 Thanks Tony, I too was going to ignore the prompt but I was bored. I started by writing "hopes and dreams, a cliché with teeth" Haha. ~~Judi Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com
