Illusion Comments

Dreamy and illusory. I wonder why the last word of each sentence is in block letters.

Both the wings widely SPREAD I wandered hither and yon AHEAD To sup up nectar from FLORAS Who were in their FEDORAS Readily welcomed me MERRILY Whose lives lasted MOMENTARILY They let me rest in pollen PALLET Scented petals turned as BLANKET. Their intense fragrance as a KEEPSAKE Gifted me with a hug and HANDSHAKE. Then by forgetting the world AROUND the me in me just felt ASTOUND!

Its really a nice dream which conveys us through a poem. Thanks Mallika for sharing

I like the poem for the rhymes scheme at the end of lines. I did feel it would be better not presented without adherence to form.

Lovely poem with an interesting narrative about a dream sequence where the protagonist turns into a colourful butterfly who does have a variety of experiences in the process. Loved reading it. Thanks Mallika ji. I quote: They let me rest in pollen PALLET Scented petals turned as BLANKET.

Wow- -A beautiful write- - - - Words flowing so sweetly- - - -Dreams are our fantasy land- - - - - -What we do not get in reality, we create an illusory land for ourselves where every thing is perfect and it is full with nectar and we get to taste the nectar. When day breaks, dream vanishes.Reality dawns, but we love to cling to our dreams. Thanks for sharing this lovely poem.
