Hey everyone, my first post outside of teen poetry (woohoo!). I wanted some more serious feedback so I can develop my writing skills. I'll probably post here more often now.


A Dream of Hope

On angel wings I soared through endless skies
One night as I lay snuggled in a dream
I saw the world through an angel's eyes

Until the dawn came with early sunrise
I danced under the starry, moonlight gleam
On angel wings I soared through endless skies

A witness to the day that we will rise
Above our groundless spite and petty scheme
I saw the world through an angel's eyes

I flew, mourning, through wars of every size
With hopeful tears in never-ending stream
On angel wings I soared through endless skies

Inspired, I viewed the day of Hate's demise
And knew that time would come for Love's regime
I saw the world through an angel's eyes

And though I woke to hear Man's suffering cries
For once I did not feel the urge to scream
On angel wings I soared through endless skies
I saw the world through an angel's eyes

Hold no suggestion/comment/criticism back! Especially better title suggestions!

Well done MM it was a good poem and the ryhming is good.
I guess you've portrayed the person you see in reality and the same person you see in dreams. There's a contradiction here and I guess  that was your idea.

Hello there, I am just a novice myself, but I thought was a great poem.  I really liked the repeats.  I also thought you did a good job of carrying the reader through time, and at the end giving us hope.  I will reread several times to look for crits, but I think it's a fine work!!
