Awakened dreams

Each week poet Ronovan Hester sponsors a Haiku prompt challenge and folks (like me) try to follow his lead. This week the two words are regal and hopeful. If you have interest in this art form, please click on his name and you'll be guided to his website where you'll find detailed instructions. 

When I thought of the two words (regal and hopeful), my grandchildren came to mind. Their lively and precious imaginations spark my own dreams. They are the inspiration for this simple haiku poem.

Thank you, John. I so agree. When we're youngsters, dreams are part of our lives.

Thanks so much, Jan. I thought of your little granddaughters when I wrote this. Sweet, magical age.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way. ―Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
