Evaluate the overall mood of the poem "Invitation" whether it is positive or negative or based on the author's word choice.
"If you are a dreamer, come in,
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hoper-er, a prayer-er, a magic bean buyer. . .
If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire
For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.
Come in!
Come In!"
