    Ok, so I was doing my English homework on analysis on a specific word/phase. I found this word to be a significant figure in the story so a thought came across my head. And this is the result…

    Dreams

    Dreams: a hidden realm
    A far, unpredictable dimension,
    Unlocked through the human mind.
    Revealing a land…
    Where the impossible resides.
    Where imagination roams free.
    Where time has no meaning.
    Where fantasy clash with reality.
    Where no man has conquered.
    Where fate leads a heavenly sonnet,
    Or a hellish extinction.
    But what is it?
    A society…of the unknown.
    An untouchable kingdom that can be seen.
    A kingdom of great mysteries.
    Dreams: a hidden realm

    I’m sorry if it really sux. I haven’t written poetry for almost 2 years. I wasn’t a very good poet from the start. Anyways, plz leave some comments cuz I always get mixed opinions in any poem I write so I’m really confused on how I should take poetry…(if u get wat I mean)

    Hey ^^ you shouldn't be so negative about your work! :)

    I liked this a lot, it has a great feel to it, and has a thoughtful overtone that makes the reader question too, or at least it made me question the nature of dreams.

    I liked the repetition that you used (I use repetition in a lot of my own poems xD)

    I also liked how the last line and first line are the same, it creates a circle and adds closure.

    The only slight flaws I did see were so insignificant they aren't really worth mentioning :)

    I thought it was really well written. Great job! I like the idea that you had about "Dreams". Really cool.

    This work makes the reader realize and question what "Dreams" can really be and it is a great piece. Nice work with wording it.

    Wow, I never thought schoolwork could b such an inspiration...

    Now all I have 2 do is wait for a grade from the assignment that gave me that idea. (lol, I got a B on my last essay although I usually get A's and stuff. And that one was only supposed to be a paragraph long...)
