Captured dreams...

Each week author Ronovan Hester invites interested readers to participate in a Haiku Prompt Challenge. This week he provided the words touch and press. I'm a novice at this poetic form, but I'm intrigued enough to attempt this simple verse. If you have interest, please click on the link above, where you'll find detailed instructions.

I've entitled my poem, Captured Dreams.

I like the idea of dreams frozen in time...a perfect match for the thoughts that preceded it. You always managed to find just the right photo to match your haiku.

Nicely done, Gwen.

I like this Gwen. Touch is an important part of us and can bring to light so many memories. A good take on the prompts.

What a beautiful thought - petals pressed between glass - and the touch. All humans need to be touched. Wow, Gwen. This is just a lovely expression. You are becoming a Haiku Master!

I think the idea of capturing a touch remember between glass would be a wonderful thing. I could imagine the warmth and energy being available to replay. Super Haiku, Gwen

I am enjoying your unique take of the words and how you present them to us. Thinking about pressed flowers as dreams frozen in time is such a powerful image to me.

It's fun for me to create, and I especially enjoy it if my images reach someone else. Thank you, Denise, for brightening my day.
