I've dreamed a world

Hey everyone! I hope you enjoy this poem that was written by me- and another poem fanatic for an event in school- based on Utopia.

They are those that surround you,
But in the hour of need,
They will look right past you,
They are those who will recognize the pain in your eyes
But they will look away and ignore you

I’ve dreamed a world,
Where they are different
They look through your skin,
They see your personality,
And feel your emotion

I’ve dreamed a world,
Where nothing’s black or white,
They understand the kaleidoscope of colors,
 Celebrate and mourn with you.

It is the use of weapons for senseless destructions
It stems from fury and chaos
Its horrors will haunt you for a lifetime,
And tear apart the lives of millions of others



I’ve dreamed a world,
Where it’s just a memory
A stronger one,
Has taken its place

One that stems from and nurtures,
Serenity and order
One that lets the dove fly,
Rather than keeping it trapped in a cage


I’ve dreamed a world,
Where knowledge is ubiquitous,
Valued by every individual
And it makes up the elements of my world.


I’ve dreamed  a world,
To help conceal reality,
To shield me from evil,
I’ve dreamed of a world

-Poem fanatic and another friend!

The Hero, by Rabindranath Tagore

 The narrative poem" The Hero" was written by Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore. Set in a young boy's imaginations this narrative has all the necessary elements and is rich in imagery. The characters, plot, setting, theme, climax and idea are all very clearly outlined.  The setting of the poem falls within the boy's imagination. It is described to have 'spiky grass' and a 'narrow broken path'. It is also mentioned that the country is 'strange and dangerous'. The rurality of the setting is further accentuated when Tagore talks of the 'cattle' and 'wide fields'.

I cannot remember my mother by Rabindranath Tagore

 The poem has been titled " I cannot remember my mother". It attracted me for some reason, for I thought that surely, a poem couldn't be completely empty. There had to be some form of nostalgia, or memory in a poem about no remembrance.  I realized after reading it, that I was right. In fact, the poem's title can be considered an oxymoron. However, the extent to which this poem is nostalgic, the amount of tiny details in this poem, wow. But I don't suppose Tagore was a Literature Nobel Laureate for nothing. This poem has sensitized its audience to the poet's colossal loss, though the poet ,it seems,has made no effort to do so. There is nothing superfluous about his writing, and the poem seems like a true expression of his love for his mother. It talks about how his mother managed to leave her presence on everything before she passed away, and how those little memories of his,form an incomplete memory of his mother.

One by Shawnee Kellie

  The poem "One" by Shawnee Kellie is a very interesting and thought-provoking piece of writing. The poem spreads the message that it is not only a large group of people that can make a change, but one idea, one thought, one human that can help make the world a better place.
