Love Capture 

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer.”
--Harriet Tubman.

As a poet.
I’m as much 
a dreamer,
as I am a witness
to the full spectrum
of my perceptions
of life,
the universe
and breaking news.

Love
is the common
denominator.

For my part.
I’d much prefer
to catch rainbows
rather than

klansmen.

Love that last line, Glenn. I so agree. There is more than enough hatred to go around, I fear.

Frank Hubeny said...

I would avoid the klansmen as well. Might as well chase the rainbows.

Grace said...

Love is the common denominator. So true and I can see you are still a dreamer at heart Glenn ~

De Jackson said...

We all would. It's a sad world.

I echo Grace's comment.
Love is all we need - but unfortunately for some, hate is better, more embracing. Sad world we live in Glenn.
Anna :o]

It is great to see your dreams come true on paper, (or a computer screen). I hope I never have any dreams with Klassen in them. That would be a nightmare

This quadrille is incredible. You are still th dreamer. Catching rainbows? I'll take them any day of the week. We need more love and more dreams of love than we need hate - on both the right and the left. Good job on this one Glenn. You have outdone yourself.

This is remarkable, Glenn. I'm still smiling at you chasing rainbows. Let the Klansmen be hanged (so to speak).

Truedessa said...

This is a wonderful piece of poetry. The dream catcher so symbolic as it catches the bad dreams and let's the good ones filter through. Keep chasing those rainbows they are out there beyond the grey clouds.

I like that you're a witness as well as a chaser of rainbows. We can't ignore those Klansmen, though like you, I'd rather that we have rainbows.

brudberg said...

But with klansmen there wouldn't be any rainbows to catch.

Maria said...

I'd go with you on catching rainbows. Ha! I don't think I can survive catching klansmen. Great write, Glenn!

Kim M. Russell said...

I love that you are still catching dreams, Glenn, especially in your poetry. I'd stick to catching rainbows too.

If there is evil, surely the clan would qualify?

Wow! Well done, and I can relate to this.

Love these poetic sentiments, Glenn. Focus on the beautiful dream!

Couldn't agree more.. focus on the rainbows.
