The Harlequin of Dreams.

Swift, through some trap mine eyes have never found,
Dim-panelled in the painted scene of Sleep,
Thou, giant Harlequin of Dreams, dost leap
Upon my spirit's stage. Then Sight and Sound,
Then Space and Time, then Language, Mete and Bound,
And all familiar Forms that firmly keep
Man's reason in the road, change faces, peep
Betwixt the legs and mock the daily round.
Yet thou canst more than mock: sometimes my tears
At midnight break through bounden lids -- a sign
Thou hast a heart: and oft thy little leaven
Of dream-taught wisdom works me bettered years.
In one night witch, saint, trickster, fool divine,
I think thou'rt Jester at the Court of Heaven!

Very nice abstract and title. Seems very controlled too IMO that is a definate plus. It shows your intent here. Love the colors

um... what is it...?
i suppose it's a nice image if you just want a big blur... but an actual subject would have made it better in my opinion :) but as far as blur goes, i like how the different colors corespond and aren't all over the place, ya know? yeah... :)

This is very similar to another photo I just viewed in this challenge. Yours has a bit more appeal because of the added coloring though. While it's a nice motion blur photo, since there isn't any real focal point, my eyes just kind of wander aimlessly and therefore I have given it a lower score compared to others in this challenge.
