In Between Dreams

I once gave a Kangaroo a heart-attack just by staring at it

Taking a break from some (REALLY) boring homework, I decided to write this.

Edit: I guess I should point out that it's in a kind of Jack Johnson/ Jason Mraz style


I'm making the cut
The world's turning round
Is it enough?
Don't make a sound...because,

I'm in between dreams
My fingers will freeze
No stopping to breathe
We'll hit the extremes

Needless to say,
I'm living free,
We'll have our own way,
You need to believe

I'm in between dreams
Weak at the knees
Caught in the seams, like
Trees in the breeze

In between dreams,
are you getting the theme?
Are we relieved,
When we're in between dreams?

It truly was a Shawshank redemption

I'm not a fan of the two line breaks ("because..." and "that we're..."). The 2nd one doesn't really make sense and they sort of break the flow. However I can see why you did it, just a personal opinion. Also the opening line doesn't do it for me. It doesn't really connect with the rest of the stanza. Also what does the "fingers will freeze" line mean? What is the person doing when his/her fingers are freezing? I just can't put an image to it that fits with the poem.

I like it though. It does have a 'dreamy' feel to it, sort of spiritual. The recurring "ee" sound throughout the poem creates a good flow, which pairs well with the 'dream-world' theme.

Ach, I'd originally intended the last two stanzas to be reversed, which would've made the lead-in sound right, but I decided against it and forgot to change it, mah bad.

My hands are always cold, I mean CONSTANTLY. It's worse when I'm really anticipating something, or I'm really nervous. Or if the room is just really cold, but that's beside the point :p it's more of a personal line than an interpretive one, if that makes any sense.

Thanks for the comments, both to you and Maikeru (Another name-bro ;) ), I always love getting comments ^_^

I can totally imagine an acoustic song in my head to this piece.
I honestly think you did really good, I hate perfect poems, I feel like some rough words or rythms here and there can give a lot of charm and personality to a poem.
Really good message too. Keep up the good work. :)
