Favorite Poem
		A Dream Within a Dream, by Edgar Allan Poe, is my current favorite poem. I really liked this poem because I have liked Poe’s other works. For example, I also like The Raven, The Masque Of Red Death, and The Cask of the Amontillado. His poetry is really great and really mysterious. His works really represents how Poe is, mysterious. His poetry always has a meaning, like A Dream Within a Dream is no exception. I think it means that we have no control of our lives or our dreams. Although our thoughts and feelings sometimes dictate our dreams, we can’t control everything that goes on. Although the poem is dark like most of Poe's work, it is still very good. I got the idea that everything we do we just float through as if we were in a dream and we can't control anything in our lives. Thus, it is my current favorite poem.
	A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM by Edgar Allan Poe (1827) Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow- You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand- How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep- while I weep! O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream?
