A Poem, by 5th grade student Vera Kent
A Dream is Made
A dream is made of silken threads
made of images, recollections, wonderings, thoughts
carved out of the fragile clay of imagination
where diamonds and sapphires are sought
dreams are majestic creations
in strange, unmarked territory
like silver statues in a sea of copper
in either a land of the vague and new,
or a place, prim and proper
a stage, maybe, where silent shadows mimic and mime
or a little smiling child, struggling to shine
