This is sweet with a touch of trouble. “Red Dress” Nice
Hi Fia! Oh yes, she was trouble! Thank you for your kind words. And thank you for this Stars Rite poetry site.
Hi Curt,
I really enjoyed this – it has such a dreamy, floating quality, I love how it moves from the soft, floating imagery of dreams into the sudden jolt of reality. “And then you said,” ‘Hi.’” The image of a dream as “fire in a red dress dancing barefoot” is striking and memorable. It feels like a brief, beautiful moment where fantasy and reality touch. Dreams inspire me. This piece resonates with me
Exactly RomaJ. Thank you. If I remember correctly, this dream woke me up. Unfortunately, there was no “reality” of her dancing in a red dress, barefoot or otherwise. Oh well. Dreams do inspire. It inspired this poem. Thanks again for your kind words and visit.

This is somewhat like Déjà vu to me. Something kind of jolts you, but in a way, you’ve felt it before.
To be honest, I was roaming through some of my notebooks and found this poem. So in one sense, yes, there was some Deja vu involved. But it was a dream I had back then (2009) that found its way on paper.
Thank you, Tim, for your comment and perspective on this poem.
