I prefer to think of a dream as a premonition of the future or a blueprint 😆. I like the message though. Don't be too busy dreaming when we can spend that time achieving

Many wisdoms in little space. You are thrifty with words and wealthy in meaning.
Nothing is more difficult than simplicity.
Unless it's making advice palatable!
You have succeeded at both! Well done!

I agree with you, the style of your poem is simple and easy to follow. Your poems always leave something for the reader to think about.

Very wise words and I agree with Archie. Your poems are always easy to follow and leave the reader with something to think about. That`s why I love visiting the Jimmy S pages.
