Poetry of a Dreamey World

By Dreamey Aurora

This anthology of poems was written in a little over 4 months. The poems explore relationships – with ourselves, with partners, with friends and with family. The feel and reactions to each is not only unique from one poem to the next but to each person who reads them. Some people feel distant, but most feel at least one speaks to them, about them. Enjoy the read. Enjoy the ride.

Dreamey Aurora

Dawn's interest in words began at a young age. Dr. Seuss taught her rhymes were fun. Early in high school, Dawn found the writing of William Blake. She fell in love with his poetry; how he could paint a scene, and elicit feelings in the way he put words together. She has always kept that in mind for her prose writing as well as for her poetry. In her teens and twenties, she had poems published in anthologies and two locally published magazines. Along the way, she continued to write prose and lost her passion for poetry. This is her second published book.
