I know that most of you have written fictional poetry, but now I'm challenging all of you to post your best. Fictional poetry has nothing to do with you... its, well, fiction. It involves a lot of storytelling. Here's my responce to the challenge (A repost).

As a young girl, she would dream
About fortune and fame
She also felt a deep desire...
Something she couldn’t name

She dreamed of happiness and bliss
She could name them all but this

With the years, the desire grew
Along with her chances of fame
As she made her way to the top
She dreamed the dream without a name

Closer to happiness and bliss
In sight was everything but this

Finally, she made her break
And jetted to her fame
And the entire time, she longed
For the dream without a name

Possessing every single dream
But she was missing something, it seemed

Reaching out to touch their star
They’re screaming, all the same
All the time, she is reaching out
For the dream without a name

Everyone around her cares
But there’s still something that isn’t there

She got married to a model boy
That just seemed so sweet
At first, she thought she’d found the dream
That would make her life complete

She had everything, it seemed
Everything but the nameless dream

She grew old, and was ready to die
She had long ago lost her fame
Her final day, she prayed one prayer:
To know her great dream’s name

Before she took to the heavens above
The whispered answer came to her...

Love

False gems may shine as brightly as the genuine article, but there are always those who can tell the difference.

Wonderful Erica! I enjoyed this when I first read it, and love it still. What an elusive dream ... and so sad that she knew it not, until the end. Excellent writing!

Best wishes,
/Kit
