Vikki's Very Short 'Dreams Do Come True' Book of Poems Vikki McRaven

A little over 7 years ago, for 2 days, I had an overwhelming urge to write poems. It was the weirdest thing. Never had that urge before that and never had that urge after that. Now, 7 years later, I've decided that I'd like to publish my poems. The story behind these poems, is that I had come across the 'guy that got away', my husband now, Ian. We had recently started dating and for some reason, I had some kind of inspiration to write the poems. The timing was weird because it just happened to be the weekend that had gotten pregnant with our daughter, Lily. So, I guess it could have been raging hormones, who knows. Anyway, the poems do have meaning behind them, such as 'Dreams Do Come True', obviously, my dream had come true, mostly because i was very persistent with him. 'Greenhouse Love', well, he happened to show me his greenhouse on the first night that I came over to see him after 14 years. 'Love at the Bowling Alley', because we had actually worked together at the bowling alley years prior to this, and that's also where we actually saw each other again. And last, but not least, 'Fishing'. Our first unofficial date was a fishing date. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my poems.
