Sonnet.2. A Prisoner's Reverie Poem by Valsa George

I don't know whether I have correctly understood this poem or not. I think you have written a man's story of his arrival in this world with a lot of expectations but most of his dreams don't come true. It's an impressive poem. The poet's approach is not always the same as that of a reader,

This sonnet on a prisoner's reverie reminds me to quote Gaston Bachelard as Reverie is not a mind vacuum.It is rather the gift of an hour which knows the plenitude of the soul..........Valsa.........jubilation of freedom sways gently through time and space and lulls him into a pleasant reverie........great write

mind flew into freedom's alpine heights Sonnets are turning stronger and beautiful. Nice sonnet. Thank you.

this poem wonderfully depicts the way imagination brings respite to a soul battered by reality. great write Valsa.

Innocent prisoners trapped within the walls have these streaks of bliss infinite though in reverie. The criminals without any repentance can never be equated with these hapless souls languishing in the prisons. The echos of the mind`s sweet beats attired in graceful dreams have a fantastic charm here... You have given a portrait to that effect by penning down this perfect sonnet. Valsa madam, your mastery over writing sonnets has now been proved to be a pleasant forte.

You have so nicely justified the title of the poem. How the mind of the man flew from the prison gate is so touchingly and astutely inscribed. At last he knew that it was a dream. It may be cited.... Alas! He knew it was just a reverie Yet it suffused him with new energy! Beautiful poem.10

I was hoping it was true but your last line brought me back to reality thanks Valsa

This man is obviously a prisoner of conscience unjustly incarcerated by those who fear his principles will infect others with the TRUTH. His day dream of his reunion with his family shows the wonderful life that the tyrants have stolen from him and his family. I am certain this man has the moral strength to be another Nelson Mandela who eventually won the friendship of his captors, that is, cut off from a free life, he transformed his prison into a zone of freedom and his jailors into an extended family. His jailors simply could not resist his goodness. That's the potential I see in your character.

A Fantastic write Valsa. Sometimes we are also like prisoners especially when we are hooked with pressure from all sides. We feel captivated. It's our thoughts imprison us. The same thoughts can also release us from prison too. Prisoner may be dreaming of release and imagining all the things that soothe his famished soul. Many die in prison itself, just dreaming....... Just a reverie is enough to energizes his soul.. I loved reading each lines.

There are times we become imprisoned by our circumstances, real or imagined or in our state of mind. It is real tears of joy to experience when we are set free, when chains break and we are unshackled from (fear?) or something that had held us down. Then life becomes a celebration. It would like a Nelson-Mandela experience!
