Protector of dreams (shape poem)

I'm truly impressed at the time that you took to create this beautiful dream catcher shape poem! It is so well thought out, each word is strategically placed to ensure that it keeps the shape while it still flows very well. Even the dots that you used as spaces really help tie this piece together because it reminds me of the woven strands in the center.

The hanging loop says "Sweet dream catcher", the outer shell of the dream catcher says "subconscious dwelling place" and the feathers at the bottom spell out "strength, good dreams raining down on sleeping souls, positive". Thank you for adding your note as I admit, I would have gotten a little lost without it! One suggestion: on the outer ring of the dream catcher, where it says 'subconscious dwelling place' ... it reads like
'dwelling place subconscious' because readers read from left to right, not right to left. So maybe you should swap those? Put subconscious on the left and dwelling place on the right. I don't think it would mess up the shape at all.

I love the center poem, it describes exactly what a dream catcher is meant to be. It is
supposed to capture all of the darkness within your nightmares, swallowing all the evil spirits that haunt you in your dreams. It is always protecting you from above your bed, making sure you will no longer awaken during the middle of the night due to a horrible dream.

You truly took this challenge to a whole new level, fantastic job. Thanks for participating

Love the way you have interpreted this prompt!
It's visually stunning and so descriptive.
It explains what a dreamcatcher is supposed to do in such lyrical prose too. I always look forward to your next poem with anticipation. :)

Really creative way to do a poem about a dream catcher and it's thoughts and feelings.
I loved how you made it look like a catcher as well which looked like it may have taken time, I honestly don't know how you do it but gosh you've got a gift here!
I love the format, how you express the subconscious as being the dwelling place of dreams, how they awaken this state of our mind and enter us into a new realm, either good or bad.
And then within the catcher you've got a beautiful and insightful piece.

Words within the dream catcher circle
Dark nightmares captured,
into intricately woven safety nets,
swallowing evil spirits,
haunting the dreaming realm.

This is an awesome stanza that explained exactly what a dream catcher is suppose to do. I loved the detail of the woven safety net capturing these haunting dreams, easily able to imagine this happening.

Hang me above you,
and I will always protect you.
No longer will night terrors,
awaken you my dear.

This is a sweet sentiment to the one sleeping, as if the dream catcher is their protector in the night, kinda like a guardian angel. It's well worded and beautiful.

Finally I like the wording that you decided to use and the shape of the feathers.

Strength, good dreams raining down on sleeping souls, positive

The dream catcher has caught the bad dreams and has now begin trickling down the feathers the beautiful and magical dreams which await the one whom sleeps. This guardian angel of dreams is giving the sleepy one strength, vivid dreams which sooth the soul.

I loved it, you always impress me!
