Analysis and comments on The First Dream by Billy Collins

Comment 1 of 1, added on January 17th, 2010 at 4:18 AM.

This poem has to be one of my all time favorites. It just puts me in a
frame of mind where I'm imagining firsts. It makes you think about the
first people on the planet, what it might have been like, but at the same
time about the magnificence of the mundane such as dreams. The woman at the
end, the way he writes that, you do feel an attraction though you have
never seen this image, its instantly understandable.
