There is nothing wrong with daydreaming, I do it myself, but not to the point that I miss the joy in what surrounds me in the moment. Thank you very much my friend. 🙂
Wow. You write a LOT of poetry – all good. Do you ever wake up with a perfectly formed verse in your head and then, come morning, most of it is gone? I think I should start sleeping with a pen & notepad under my pillow…
Very often I get the perfect verse in my head and by morning it is completely gone. I thought about keeping a pen and paper on my nightstand, but I’m sure if I sat up to write I would wake my wife up. That would not be good for her or me. 🙂
[ Smiles ] This is a very nice poem, Dominic.
Thank you very much Renard, I appreciate that. 🙂
Sometimes this is exactly how I feel. You are a wonderful writer.
Thank you very much Chris, this is exactly what I am trying to avoid feeling like, but sometimes it’s hard. 🙂
Well it is a timely reminder for me – I look forward to reading your next work. 🙂
Thank you so much Chris, I hope that I don’t disappoint. 🙂
You never have.
Ahh, this really hits me hard. I’m guilty of this too often, I think. I’m certainly a chronic daydreamer.

Quite poignant and appropriate. For me, anyways. 🙂

Ouch! A painful reminder, but beautifully written. 🙂
Thank you Jen, I appreciate that. I have fallen into this trap many times in my life. 🙂
But … It’s normal sometimes. You do the best you can, but don’t beat yourself up too much.
Absolutely, I couldn’t agree more. 🙂
