I Dream a Dream (Susan Boyle inspired)

Britain's got talent, and Susan Boyle is their latest discovery. She dared to dream a dream and her dream came true. The prompt is the link below, I don't know anyone who hasn't been inspired after seeing this lady sing.

I'd like to see poetry either inspirational, spiritual, emotional or reflective. No prewrites allowed. I want to be able to relate the meanings in your poem to the prompt. You can speak of the audience and the reactions, the before or after scenes, anything at all in relation to the clip.

Usual contest rules apply.
I reserve the right to DQ poems that are inappropriate.

      Yes, it really is amazing. I hope you are inspired to write for this contest...alby

  • I was absolutely blown away by this wonderful lady and her great gift.. This was one gift that truly was being hidden under a bush.. And for far too long, if you ask me.. But who knows really why she never sought fame before this, she is very shy but she does have moxie, that's for sure.. I would be brokenhearted if she doesn't win but I don't think she'll be going back to her quiet, small town life after all this.. I hope she has some CDs come out soon..
