I like the sound of this one - it's hard to get that kind of rhythm in a 20 word poem. The word choices range from frantic (rushing) to serene (sparkling moonbeams) - just as dreams might. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Eve Vasa
I'm reading some lovely verse at FS tonight. This is one of them. Very bubbly, refreshing with a great sense of excitement and movement from all that water imagery. This really worked for me, from the publishing to your carefully chosen words ... and the rhyme doesn't feel forced.
Best of luck in the comp, and thanks for sharing your writing, Eve.

JLR,
I like your word play with wading upstream and your pulse streams.
You don't share your thoughts, so we can fill in our own. Whatever thoughts they were, we have all experienced the rush of emotions when thoughts intrude on our dreams and awake us.

Hello JLR
Don't tell me: you needed the bathroom, right?
Actually, I am sorry to be facetious, but the older I get, the more I dream about the sea, and wake 'under pressure'.
This poem presents in two visual halves - the left hand range of "wading" / "water" / "sparkling" etc and the right hand side "upstream" / "gushing" / "rushing" , which is interesting, as is the rhyme of the rhymes you have selected and used.
20 words is a tight area to pack in a single thought, but you have created something articulate and comprehensive and I trust you will do well in your contest.
I wish you well with your continued writing.
cheers

Phil, it always amazes me when at a 2:30 AM awaken, whether the call of biologic urgency or a dream space, writing in the stillness of this hour always seems to clear room for a still voice crafting poems, not from the head but from the inner soul.
Comment from giovannimariatommaso
20 word work-through to the end, a happy dream leaving one a little higher. This one is cleaver little ditty, this one and a good usage of words and imagery. giovanni

Giovanni, thank you for your review and comments. I believe, our dreams are fertile ground from which words flow cosmically from deep within a soul that fall easily to paper.

JLR Hope all is well! giovanni

Dreams are fertile ground that our conscious and unconscious world meet and give us the opportunity to explore our lives at a very deep level.
Comment from Rosemary Everson1
Again an exceptional poem that your wrote. Dreams perhaps brings us to the feeling of our face flushing not with water but possibly with embarrassment as to what we are dreaming.

Hi Jim. Excellent poetry here my friend. You have used your twenty words very wisely and the result is a sure-fire winner in my estimation. I liked this in particular: "my pulse streams"
Good luck, my friend. (Good to be back) Bob
