This poem “Day Dreams” is written in free verse. Free verse is unstructured
poetry characterized by its non-conformity to established patterns of meter,

It is more liberal than America when you think about it.
Reading this poem brings to mind such questions as; what are dreams, what
are day dreams and are day dreams suppose to be a way of solving problems? Most
folks supposedly would proffer that day dreams are task detractors and not an
essential quality in solving problems in the real world. Yet some would say
that day dreams are nothing more than the mind seeking cover from reality and
that prolong day dreaming is counter-productive. It provides a detached
existence.
How can we make the compound word “day-dreams” a more mind friendly word?
Just take day from it and you are left with “dreams”. The question now is this;
Is to have a dream a bad thing? To have a dream is to set a goal in the mind,
something to aim for or at. This activity pushes day dreaming on the back
burner because an action plan is initiated on what must be done to turn the “dream”
into reality. This turning of the dream becomes the “seed”, the seed is planted
by way of goals to be achieved, then the seed is given all the necessary nutrients
for it to grow and develop into its true potential and like the seed, the brain
must be given the correct nourishment that come from the learning process. This learning process gives folks the ability
to comprehend, analyze and synthesize in positive ways desirable for goals’
achievement in the final outcome. This feeling good attitude coupled with
monetary payoffs benefits not only the primary recipient by society as a whole.
So yes, to have a dream is essential for it inspires, and it propels one
to move into action and not to vegetate.
