Nightmare

Nightmare

A Poem by Cwortknee

A dragon erupts from smoldering clouds targeting me;
but before its fiery breath engulfs me,
I'm awakened to a worse fate...
reality.

there's a bitter pill to swallow, but i suppose that's why life seems a tainted apple in our gardens of edan, great to look at, but horrible to experience.

A worse fate~ Ah, everyone takes refuge in dreams, don't they? I literally spend all my day dreaming..

I don't blame you, I definitely do.
So image heavy and smoothly written. I can relate to this one a lot. Perhaps there's a lot to say about the narrator, perhaps the nightmare is symbolic of their life. Maybe I'm thinking too deeply about a poem I really admire and should just enjoy it.

I wonder what people would pick if given the choice of a dragon's stare in front of them or in the middle of a war zone!! : ) A dragon's fire always made me curious to wonder how that would feel. Maybe like a warm breeze for a nanosecond or maybe we would just see red and .....POOF!! Gone. lol I like your poem, Cwortknee. xoxo -Mark

That would be cool to have a setting on a microwave that is for "dragon"!! : )
