Cadence of Dreams

By Effie Blake

My dreams tend to be recurring dreams. They consist of my going from
place to place in a collage of real vicinities that I have visitedi.e. past
residences, learning institutions, libraries, retail stores, and vacations
to name a few. The poems included herein follow this pattern and are
expressed with varying degrees of the five senses as well as intellect with
balanced rhythmic flow. The meter of traditional and nontraditional
poetic forms is utilized for this flow; hence, the title, Cadence Of Dreams,
which I believe to be apropos.
Furthermore, the poems of Cadence Of Dreams give a snapshot of my
experiences and wisdoms throughout life. Youll find that meals and
nature tend to predominate the subject matterboth are near and dear
to my heart-of-hearts. They call to my mind a quote from the naturalist
John Muir (1838 to 1914):
The power of imagination makes us infinite.
It is my preference to believe that the passage of pieces of my imagination
to you stirs your imagination. Thus, we live on . . .
