Thanks for pointing me to Stuart Dischell’s poem. Absolutely fantastic. Some moments in our lives are better than reality. The patter of lines in this poem evokes the way that you try not to lose a dream through repetition.

I agree, what a wonderful poem. The use of repetition can often seem a ploy in poetry but it works fantastically here. Beautiful stuff!
