Lying On My Back… Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

Great imagery. Very surreal.

A period between slumber and aware Not emphasising on reality and fantasy One is sure to go for Northern Sun and Moon. Such is a dream, so lovely, one can really beam Who can stop you dear poet, go into that trance and be calm Northern Sun will dance surely on your palm. Impossible is made possible in dream... Then... why not to take a shot? Lovely read, dear poet.

'Can anyone ever pick out a northerly sun? ' is what I implied there meaning never. Your suggestion is okay with me. Well, if the implication lacks clarity, I am changing the accent there from interrogative to affirmative. Thanks for your suggestion, Ronald Kesav Easwaran

I like poems about dreams. The dream with a star is very important. it speaks of the realms of the spirit. One line gave me a bit of trouble. Pick out a northerly sun, ever one can? do you mean to say (everyone can?) or (if ever one can?) but it might be better said (if anyone can?) It just a bit unclear what you are attempting to say right there in that phrase. a poet friend RH Peat

a lovely poem...light hearted humorous...a good flow...truly relaxing...great craft

Your philosophy and wit is remarkable and complete. arya

haha......well said! !

Imagination at its poetic best Kesav....you make a simple poem on a dream take the reader far away.......

keshavji, you are the polar star of poetry..........

very well written.. your poem can tell in very few words what can't be conveyed in hundreds of words by others and that's poetical triumph.
