[time] => 2010-06-14 06:38:00
[hometext] => Friends , last year while reading about the Red Indian Tribes of America , I was inspired to write this short poem !
[bodytext] => . THE DREAM CATCHER : A RED INDIAN LEGEND ( I ) The continent of North America during those ancient times , Were inhabited by various Red Indian tribes . The Delawares , the Mohawks , the Choctaws , The Dacotahs , the Omahas , the Blackeet , The Camanches , the Ojibways and the Apaches ! They inhabited the forest , the prairies , the marsh lands , The great lakes , the mountains and the fen-lands ! They lived close to nature and honored their Gods , With the spirit of Nature all thing were fraught ! If we recall the story of MacKenna’s Gold , The ‘Shaking Rock’ and ‘Canyon del Oro’ ; Of human greed - breeding death and sorrow ! Which in celluloid has often been told , None could take away that Apache gold ! ( II ) Today I narrate a legend of the Chippawa tribe , Of their ‘magical net’ for a peaceful night ! An old medicine man of this tribe , Wove a magical net with gossamer strings , To catch the dreams as they float by ! He hung this net above the bed up high , - To catch the dreams as they float by ! This wondrous net trapped all bad dreams , Letting the good ones pass through its netted seams ! And as the bad dreams got entangled in the net , The good ones descended upon the sleeping bed ! So should you come across this magical net , Never argue about its price , - Just buy the one of your bed size ! Then hang the net high above your bed , For there is nothing to be afraid ! Since dreams shall never ever cease , Have sweet dreams always , with a good night’s sleep ! - - Raj Nandy New Delhi [comments] => 2 [counter] => 683 [topic] => 68 [informant] => RAJNANDY [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => fictional )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
