Nightmare - Senryu

Pulled by troubled sleep

into pits that get deeper

with every dark breath.

Author's Note

Painting - The famous "Scream" by Edvard Munch.

Powerful words and amazing artwork. In dreams, I write story and poetry. Sometimes dreams can tell us what shall happen to us tomorrow. Thank you dear friend for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

Your senryu certainly depicts the desperation, darkness and fear that comes with the most horrible of nightmares. I don't suffer with them so much now but years ago, I would wake up with my heart pounding and tears flowing. This is a reminder. Such a famous painting, which means different things to different people. A trip into the land of madness is not a place nany if us would like to visit.
