The Thief of Dreams

Comment from Patty Palmer
Subject matter for nighttime dreams can be wild, exciting, and usually without boundaries. It's the dulled mind that picks the subject of dreams.
While these dreams might prove to be exciting and a bit naughty, when the daylight comes, those nighttime behaviors are not such a good idea!

Comment from Gypsymooncat
Dreams are a frustrating thing. When in the middle of one, I know I vow I'll remember it, but when morning comes, I'm damned if I recall anything except that it was good or bad. I love the way you describe how daylight steals the fabric of dreams, leaving them in tatters. I enjoyed this one a great deal. Thanks for sharing xoxoxo

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very nice artwork and
presentation, Tony, and
a well written sonnet.
-I like all the references to
thief, tattered, and split in verse one.
-The second verse follows well with
similar images.
-A good volta that shows what
the poets can do to "form a quilt..."
-I like the concluding couplet that
shows how the poet can "weave a weft of dreams."
-Well done. Good luck in the contest.

Excellent. Rhymes that make sense and aren't forced. Classic enjambment in lines 3/4. I'll look for more of your work. Good luck in the contest....

I think I have already told you that I am a huge fan of sonnets and this contest entry did not disappoint me.
It flowed every smoothly, partly because of the good rhyming scheme. Good luck with the contest.

Comment from Stephen Force
Excellent verse and accompanying picture. This is well presented, artfully phrased and well rhymed. The metaphor of dreams and fabric throughout works well. Really good posting. Thanks Steve.

This well written sonnet presents colorful imagery, effectively employing analogy as well as metaphor. The colorful visual art selection well complements your theme. An excellent contest entry, best wishes.

Comment from Kathleen King
Super Sonnet, I read Coleridge in school.
I really appreciated how you "wove" this poem. my favorite stanza was, "For poets can, at times, rework remains
with careful, stitched-up words to form a quilt,
a patchwork made of fragments from their brains -
a Xanadu of pleasures that's rebuilt."
but as I reread the poem I have to say the first stanza's ( 3rd line) internal-rhyme created such speed and fun.
You are very talented
