Five Dreams is a compilation of poems on five different themes. The first set of poems talked about the beauty of love and the waiting game. They talk about the beauty of waiting patiently, the wild ride of infatuation, and the frustration of being kept waiting, even playfully blaming the clock for it. These poems expressed emotions tied to love and loss while exploring the promise of love enduring through eternity. The poems create room for reflection and deep thinking. Grab a copy of this book to find out the other themes of the poems in the book and what they are all about.
 
I had a great time reading these poems. Reading them took me to a whole new realm where I was able to imagine and paint clear images of the poems. The rhymes were lovely and creative. One poem I liked the most was "Wife." Not only did I enjoy the content of the poem, but I also liked how the poem was arranged. It was looking like a pyramid in landscape view. This shows how creative the author is. She creates art that is pleasing to the mind and the eyes.
 
I was not too fond of something in the book. In some poems, like “Have No Doubt,” I noticed that there was no punctuation in the poems. I perceived that this was the author’s personal choice of writing, but it just did not sit well with me. This is just a personal dislike, and it did not affect the overall enjoyment of the book, so I rate Five Dreams by Elizabeth Michaud 5 out of 5 stars.
 
This book was worth every second I spent on it. It was void of errors and was exceptionally edited. I recommend this book to lovers of poetry and the arts in general.

One standout poem in the collection, "Wife," showcases the author's creativity and artistic vision. Not only does the poem offer poignant insights into the dynamics of marriage, but its unique arrangement as a pyramid in landscape view adds an extra layer of visual appeal. This attention to detail and innovative approach to presentation sets "Five Dreams" apart from other poetry collections.

A collection of poems on five distinct themes is called Five Dreams. The first collection of poems discussed the art of waiting and the beauty of love. They discuss the joys of being infatuated, the beauty of waiting patiently, and the annoyance of having to wait—even jokingly blaming the clock for it. These poems explored the possibility of love lasting forever while expressing feelings related to love and sorrow. The poetry allows for introspection and careful consideration. Pick up a copy of this book to learn about the additional topics and meanings of the poems contained therein. Curiosity is piqued by the book's appeal for readers to explore its other themes, which inspires them to go into the entire range of feelings and subjects covered in the poems.

What, Elizabeth, your book is a treasure and reveals much of your experience of waiting, of longing. indeed there is strength in denial and fortitude in disappointments. From this angle I see how suffering can be redemptive if well integrated, so why fear suffering, and disappointments? I do not desire to have them but I will not let myself be down with them...I will arise. thanks, Elizabeth. In the soul of each of us resides tenderness that we can't just pretend is not there....reading this book can transform you inside out...I give a 5 out of 5 stars to her.
