Dreams Can Mean More Than You Think
It takes away the pressure
takes away the stress
It can make you be a star
Makes you famous, more or less
A wonderful adventure
A beautiful design
Blink an eye and you’re there,
Surely its a sign
That we are made for great things
Just fall asleep and you’ll see
All your wishes will come true
But be careful, count to three
A wrong word, the wrong desire
And there will be a mess
A tangled web of lies
Its trouble, but nonetheless
Without it, where would we be?
Wandering the world
Not even knowing who we are
And all would be unfurled
So just remember when its time
To close those little eyes
That what’s in store could be a joy
But also your demise
I wrote this poem about dreams in a high school class with the purpose of expressing my passion for dreams. I wanted to convey that dreams are important to me and can have meaning. I wanted to share my interest in dreams, which I didn’t exactly show because I also wrote about a darker side of dreams because I wanted the tone to be secretive.
This poem had the intended audience of my classmates and teacher. I did not know if my classmates remembered every dream or never dreamt but my audience did not have to know any information about dreams to read the poem.
I chose the genre to be a poem because it seems to me that poems can have hidden meaning and can seem to be more of a riddle. Poems can have many different meanings, and although I had a purpose, I wanted readers to deduce a meaning of their own as well.
My stance on dreams was openly conveyed by this poem. I originally wrote positive things about dreams such as "It takes away the pressure / takes away the stress" and then change to a more negative side of dreams when I wrote "A wrong word, the wrong desire / And there will be a mess / A tangled web of lies." This shows that I believe dreams can vary and people have to choose how to interpret them.
The medium for my poem was text, and my design used stanzas, to follow the original outline of a poem.
