Yes, dreams can affect the awake state! I had to post!
And I am an avid dreamer honey. You know this too 🙂

This is a good piece. If I can go to bed as well and just fall into a dreamlife. That would be great.

Hi Fia!
Thank you. I’m so happy you enjoyed. I’ve always been curious about dreams. How our brains manage all of it while we are sleeping. Sometimes they feel so real and other times not so much. lol
It’s a great asset to be in tune with when it comes to writing. At least for me it is.
Thanks for stopping my Fia:). I’m not posting as much but I’m trying!

Hey Meme!
I just felt like going there in this write. To kind of tap into the other side of sleeping. Dreams are fun. I don’t have many nightmares at all. Mostly weird stuff that makes me laugh when I wake up. Other times it is extraordinary and inspiring. I feel in order to be a writer we must dream. They go hand in hand.
Thanks for getting this write amigo. Glad you could see it.
That’s the whole point of writing for me:)

This is a fiesta of dreamlife that ascends into cloud realms of loving bliss. I just felt the total joy here that comes as you rest your head to sleep and dream. This is how the best dreams come and you expressed this with great virtuosity. Truly a fabulous poem.

Some of my favorite poems come from dreams. I’ve learned to keep a spiral notebook next to me in case something
Really grabs me and I need to write it down. Dreams have a huge influence on my writing:)
Thanks for all the positive feedback on my writes amigo:)

Hi Honoria!
There is so much gratitude! This past year I lost my little chihuahua Daisy in November. Right before Thanksgiving. I was a mess. I had her for around 18 years. She was so old and her eyesight was going. Had to give her a little nod in my opening:)
Mark found a chihuahua Christmas ornament and put it on our tree.I’m also looking forward to 2026. All the possibilities!
I’m so happy to see you here and commenting:)
Best Christmas gift ever! -

Hey my little busy Bee! ’25 was such an awesome year for you! Besides Daisy, of course. But your life has so much going on in it. Even getting your book out there in the world! Thank you for sharing it with me. All of my highlights of ’25 involve you!
This write of yours is so positive and empowering. I love the feeling of determination that is being carried within it. And I’m glad that you got some creative results out of the Taylor movie. I will be more kind when talking about her from now on. LOL
I’m all about my Adelphina! Woo hoo!-
![Profile picture of Adelphina]()
Hey there lover!
This write is all about timing. To be prepared for whatever comes your way. To handle it gracefully or at least the best you can. To not cower which is hard for me. I’m brave with a pen but sometimes not always in real life! lol
You have been my highlight for the past 3 years!
And yes, the documentary from Taylor swifts last tour is very inspiring. I didn’t realize how massive her show was.
I just remember how expensive the tickets were.
I’ll only spend that much on a purse, maybe!Thanks for your awesomeness in 2025!
MWA!

Thanks Meme!
I’m working on it. Just need to get in that writing zone. I know you understand. The need to feel that inspiration in order to pick up that pen! Sometimes it evades me.
Now I gotta catch the last season of Stranger Things!
Fixing to get on Netflix! Woop Woop! HahahaThanks for not being a stranger buddy!

The beginning of each new year is another reset of our aspirations. We have a chance to start anew with hopes for a better year, a more productive year as long as we persist in our endeavors. I hope yours is all that and more Adelly. Best wishes to you. 🙂

Hi Tim!
Happy New Year amigo! Thank goodness for resets. I don’t know anyone who didn’t need one.
Whether it is about losing weight or finding love or being prosperous.
In some way we bargain with our future every new year.
We make decisions with hope in mind. It’s very cosmic in some way.
Hoping all our stars will align like paths.Best wishes to you too buddy!

This reads like a prayer and a dare at the same time. I love how 2026 is treated as a living witness—something you’re negotiating with, not wishing on. The imagery of ink, doors, courage, and the red carpet earned through work (not luck) feels honest and earned. There’s vulnerability here, but also resolve. It doesn’t beg the future—it challenges it.

I love this comment!
Yes, I didn’t want this to come across like I was begging for a great year.
We come across challenges every year. It’s inevitable. I want to go into the new year courageously, come what may.
This year I think 2026 or every new year for that matter as a quest. A year long quest. It will either break me or make me stronger. I’m an optimist. So either way each year makes me grow:)Happy New Year!

You brought in the New Year with pizazz my friend. This was a great fiesta of a poem. One that made my heart dance like raindrops on a banana plant leaf. I could feel the exuberant hopes encapsulated in your poem.

Hi John,
I love the idea of a blank new year. Nothing has happened yet, but oh the possibilities it can bring:)
Happy belated New Year my friend.Del

There once was a woman from Cork
Who ate black pudding with a fork
When the lads came around
The rumors were sound
She was better than the Duchess of York-

A fabulous effort, Fia!
Meter’s off a bit, but with such rolicking humor and rhythmical ease, who’s counting, because you onviously intended to please. ; )

Thanks for joining-in, Dear Poetess, and “A Happy New Year to Ya!” ⁓ Richard

I didn’t say you were wrong, punk! The proper name is “Paint Horse”. I agreed! But there are some who call it painted horse too. So perhaps that’s a lesser name or something. I just go by what I research, I don’t judge.LOL.
You’re saying I’m wrong just to build the drama on a slow night.
Dont make me bring the BaBoom! on ya!
Anyway, lover, your write…
Wonderfully dreamlike, even if in day. That “zone” that we settle in, for creative moments. It’s addictive to want to stay there half a day!
You described it well. And my dear, we are immortal for as long as we are around! What a blessing!
