Has a dream ever ended just as you wanted it to exist?

"Apparitions"

http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/DineshThePoet/1...

Once again, being slave to the details, I'm not sure if the title should be "Apparitions" or "Apparition". This is troubling me more than it should.

Update:

    This is wonderfully subtle.

    I compare and contrast the poem to Annabel Lee.

    Apparition is incredibly subtle, the reader barely knows that Apparition is about a girl.

    Apparition seems to be about a girl though Annabel Lee is obviously about a girl.

    Both are idealistic in their vision.

    Source(s): I like your style and it's developed in a really lovely way. LTNS i don't know why I chose annabel lee.. just a classic, clearly Apparition is very different and pretty awesome. Cadence is wicked.
