Point taken. I didn't mean to sound patronising. It's just that I know how I have felt in situations like that in the past - and my first thought is usually that I can't do it. But then, as you say, you go away and start to pick away at the problem, and eventually the solution falls into place.

Nah didn't see it as patronising ;) , I had read it over a few times and adjusted the metre but did not even see the way the rhyming pattern was out in such an obvious way , was too caught up in getting the metre correct or at least more correct than it was

Dreams can turn into nightmares but what must it be like to not
have dreams?
Good poem.

Can nightmares turn into dreams also, Dennis? I hope so. Sounds like the idea for a poem...
