They hit the rough floor of life
And broke into shards

Dreams are like exquisite pieces of glassware unless they encounter the harsh realities of life only to be smashed into bits. What a nice poem. Thanks.

My dreams always disappear into thin air. Your dreams seem to be solid. Beautifully put in the poem.

A nice painting, I want to write two lines of an unknown Urdu poet, but the problem is this that you don't understand Urdu, anyway i shall try to translate it- - - - - Na jane kaisi phir aag bhdke na jane kaysi qymat aaye+++Shikaste sheesha ka aysa manzar jo sheeshagar ki nazar se guzre (If the accident of breaking of glass flower pot would have been seen by a pot maker, even a greater tragedy might have happened) . Valsa it's a beautiful three liner, one of the best from you.........10

A vivid depiction of shattered dreams and hard life in just three brilliant lines. Deeply poignant yet beautifully crafted senryu.
