Perhaps it was
the manner in which
you entered my reverie -

^ 'perhaps' is a brilliant word for the record.. it makes me want to skip to the end for comparison ;)

with such violent intentions
that would alert me
to your presence

^ so I can see there is violence? or madness going on? some outrage?

I realized then;
the hostility you
bequeathed upon me -
had turned my
pleasant dream
into a nightmare

^ There you go... I wonder if this is a poem for someone real in your life, or just imagining.. at any ways, it's such a powerful piece though you layed your words straight before our eyes.

Great end!

Liz, I really love your pieces. They always speak to my heart.

---What I like about this piece is that I can either think that the author is trying to describe how nightmares start. How they make us feel when they suddenly appeared to ruin our dreams.

Or I can think that the author is using this piece as a metaphor to imply that someone is having the same effect as a nightmares in her life. So It makes me wonder to whom she is referring in this poem. Well done.

Its open to interpretations, so I like it even more.

Short but well said. Your words had a profound effect on me. Once again another great poem by you.

5/5

Lovely poem

'Violent intentions' it's the intention of the person that has great impact

Its kinda like u can taste the fear,, great poem and always fantastically worded and excellently written I lo ed it a very wonderful job 5/5

It takes talent to speak clearly in just a few words to give the full impact of what you are intending to say. You have mastered that in this piece. Loved the wording and the whole emotional theme

Wow, this poem is amazing. I love the simplicity of it, and how there are so much meaning behind it. I'm very fascinated by dreams, and I love how you expressed feelings of fear and nostalgia in this poem through a dream that turns into a nightmare.

I love this part:
"you entered my reverie -
with such violent intentions"

Great job!
