Title:
DREAMS
DREAMS
What are dreams? Are they conjectures?
Imagination’s overtures?
An insane flight of mere fancy?
A sign of mental infancy?
Those who dream perpetually
May be quaint but it’s really
True, those who dream once in a while,
Do have a mind that is fertile.
The needle of sewing machine,
Basic organic ring, benzene,
Were both visualized in dreams,
When mind, in sleep had a few gleams.
Dreams do decrease life’s drudgery,
Give it some flavor and flurry.
Dreams are balm for the aching heart,
In love, they play a lovely part.
Dreams are, in fact, what make a man.
First, he must dream before he can
Realize them by working hard.
Their lack would, man’s progress, retard.
· Written in aabb, 8-8-8-8 format.
* Elias Howe invented the sewing machine needle after dreaming, in 1844, that he was surrounded by savages carrying lances with an eye/ hole at the tip. The full story can be viewed at: http://www.geocities.com/madhukar_shukla/crebook/08.html
· Kekule discovered the benzene ring, which is the basis of all organic chemistry, after dreaming, in 1861, of a snake catching its own tail. The full story can be viewed at: http://www.geocities.com/madhukar_shukla/crebook/23.html
