Dreams
Tautogram
Dreams drape deep dozing…
Do dreams disclose deep divination?
Does deciphering dreams divulge deep desires?
Do dreamscapes design direct diversion?
Do dreams do diddly?
...
Dreams do dance delightfully.
Dreams do don despair.
Dreams do dazzle.
Dreams do drift disorder.
Dreams do dramatize doctrine.
Dreams do deliver delusional deluge.
Dreams do dispense delightful destinations.
Dreams do develop diverse dramas.
Dreams do display dreamy desires.
Dreams do direct daring deeds.
Drab dreams do drag.
Daft dreams do dupe.
Dreams do draft doubt.
Dream details do dwindle.
Dormant dreams do drift.
...
Dreams dully deduced–
Deliberate dendrite dumping.
About the Creator
Kristen Balyeat
Words fly to me on the wind, bump into me as I'm strolling the city, splash me in the face while I rest by the river, and shake me awake in the middle of the night– I’m humbly one of the many vessels they use to come to life.

I really enjoyed reading "Dreams" - it's a beautiful poem that captures the essence of the fleeting nature of dreams. The use of vivid imagery and descriptive language is impressive and paints a vivid picture in the reader's mind. The repetition of the phrase "It's a dream" throughout the poem adds a sense of mystery and surrealism. The final lines are particularly poignant and leave a lasting impact on the reader. PS -- Do read my poetry on "Fading Memories: The Death of Childhood" here - https://vocal.media/poets/fading-memories-the-death-of-childhood
Beautiful :)
very nice
Magnificent poem. Congratulations on the recognition with Top Story. Woo hoo 🥇🥇🥇😎🥰
This tautogram on dreams is quite creative and thought-provoking! The repetition of the letter "d" in each line adds to the dreamlike quality of the poem. The questions posed in the first few lines about the purpose and meaning of dreams are intriguing and make the reader reflect on their own experiences with dreaming. The contrast between positive and negative experiences in dreams is well-captured through the varied verbs used in each line. Overall, a great use of the tautogram form to explore the mysterious world of dreams.
Beautiful poem about dresms
Ooooo. How did you do that, Kristen? The peaks and valleys feel like a reflection of a natural dream cycle. "Dreams do develop diverse dramas!" So cool. Congratulations on a beautiful piece, Kristen!
Nice work, but what are your thoughts about lucide dreams?
Haha “deliberate dendrite dumping” absolutely brilliant! I really loved all of the superstition and metaphor and meaning and drama leading up to that unexpected diversion at the end. Artfully done :)

Awesome! ✍🏻 👏🏻
I love the word usage! It's really interesting. I also really like your bio it's a very open-minded way of explaining what you do. I love it! Would you like to read some of my poems? It would be nice to get advice from someone this experienced. :)
Once again you somehow created an actually interesting story as a tautogram (this is almost like a journal about your thoughts on dreams!).. i really didn't think there would be interesting poems from this challenge (I'll be honest here), but reading this a few others you wrote before I just keep getting proven wrong and I love it 🤣.
I enjoyed this one a lot :)
it's a nice work i really enjoyed it
So good
Simply dreamy!
Amazing! I love the last line! Congrats on top story! 😃
This is beautiful! Great concept. Congrats on the top story!
Dreams do intend to go across the board of many emotions and interesting interpretations. You put all of that in despite this interesting challenge. If you would be so kind, would you comment on my poem? It is called Requiem Record. I gave some clues as to what Record is but I want to see if someone can guess what it is. It also has been a while since I've written a poem so I would like to see how I did after so long.
Dreamy with surprising twists 😄. Well done Kristen and congratulations on your Top Story 😄
I really like the way you changed up and relieved the flow of the poem; it catches the reader by surprise and directs them towards a bend in the verse.
Very nice. LOL good one.
Oooo, I loved it and had several favorite lines until I got to that last one! You had me at dendrites. Fantastic dreamy work!! Congratulations on Top Story!!
Crafted art! Congratulations on your top story!
