Starship of Dreams

Argh. I need to write more poetry. I almost have forgotten how to. And its bothering me because there is no one way to write poetry. Having said that, here you guys go…

 

Starship of Dreams

 

Riding on a star, floating towards the heavens on a starship made of dreams,

I sing at the moon, and dance with the stars.

Flying away like a bat out of a cave,

Erratically slip out of myself,

Into the world of dreams.

 

Float away, towards the stars in the heavens above, on a starship made of dreams,

Ride your life out into the stars and play tag with the moon,

Leave a song as you jump out of the world

On your starship in the sky,

In the world of dreams.

 

This is unfinished I just wanted to get something out. Also, I don’t have time to work on the revisions of chapter one that I have been meaning to do, but I’ll get to them as soon as I can.

I'm so very sorry...

...but did you mean to name this after Starship (which is a musical by Starkid, which you should look up if you have no clue what I'm talking about)?

As to the poem itself, it's very well written and formatted. The whittling away at each line, until only the key phrase--the destination--is left. The parallels between the first and second stanzas, and repetitions of certain words, also add to an overall rhythm.

Please continue it!

I didn't know such a musical

I didn't know such a musical existed. I'll check it out. But I just wrote this piece because it wanted to be written. If my inner muse decides to inspire me on how to continue, I will, but at the moment I have no where that I want to go with it. thank you for commenting!
