objects of his dreams

Sunday Whirl
With words:
axe clumsy dreams glass land listen
name rub settle shattering sky vanish

an axe to grind
but clumsy in his dealings
had hoped to find
objects of his dreams

with glasses  in his hands
and an uncanny talent
a job he could land
if they could just listen

he could name names
with whom he rubbed  shoulders
to settle in and rise to fame
to the consternation of others

Worked with shattering speed
To gain a foothold
The sky is the limit
To garner aspirations for his soul

Had worked with such relish
Lest all should unwittingly vanish

For Brenda's Sunday Whirl

  1. working hard can be the only way to find and achieve those dreams..if they are real..and 'you' are too! (I like your reward poster ;)

  2. ah it's sad if someone works so hard for something and the dreams still not come through... it's never too late for a new dream though...

  3. Working hard is OK but it is your attitude as well. So don't hog the limelight, e.g Let someone else have their picture taken under the Eiffel Tower!
