Prompt:

"But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."

THE RULES:

    Wow! When Yeats speaks, so do the poets of AP.

    I was swirled within some beautiful poetry this morning reading your riches. Thank you all for such splendid entries.

    That said, you have made my task quite difficult, but completed none-the-less.

    These are our winners - and if you have not read each other's poetry in this contest, I strongly urge you to do so. You will find a world of wealth within the words. I know I did.

    GOLD - The Dimple of A Flower's Beauty
    SILVER - Candle dear
    BRONZE - The Lady's Reply

    Thank you all and congratulations to our winners. GOLD winner kindly PIF at your convenience.
