Summary of the poem colour of my dreams by peter dixon
Answers
The poem “The Color of my Dreams” by Peter Dixon is about a boy who has dyslexia. His teachers, classmates, and others think that he is a du mb boy who is not as bright as others. He considers them to be du mb as they are unable to understand his feelings and emotions. Inside him, he has a lot of things to say to everyone. For him, his imaginations and knowledge are beyond the understanding of others. He wants to express himself through art and imaginations but the people are unable to comprehend his creations. The poem is a personal poem which reflects the inner thoughts of the poet.
Answer:
This poem was written by Peter Dixon, an old friend from the time I was involved in early years education. He's a senior lecturer in education and also taught in elementary school. His focus is on creativity, which he considers essential in any field of study. Sometimes parents tell him that their children are not going to be artists, so why waste time on all the mucky painting and modelling? He replies that without art, the brain is not functioning to its full potential and the result is often a mediocre doctor, engineer, lawyer, you name it. Not everybody is "good" at art, but it's a shame not to exercise the creative part of the brain! I hope you enjoy his poem.
