Dream Reflections

 

So drained,

I feel like a trained monkey

Who is paid to dance

 

I can't wait for

The chance to sleep

If it doesn't

Happen soon

Grim reaper might come

Knocking at my door

When I fall asleep

 Driving home

 

I shall visit the moors of

Ancient fairies and

Hills of enchantment,

Once my curly head lands

On my feather pillow

 

I might dream of lazy days

Laying under a weeping willow tree

After taking a long dip in a cool

Stream on a hot summer day

 

Who knows where my

Subconscious might take me,

Good thing my

Admission will be free,

Because I don't have a

Penny on me currently

 

Time is ticking so swiftly

 These trying days,

I must say goodbye,

Before I drift off to

Dreamland too suddenly

 

Goodnight

Reviews

[Goodbye]

I'll have to respectfully disagree with Doug ~ I thought the trained monkey thing was great - I think many women can connect with that at one time or another in their lives. You are getting better and better with each write. This is truly excellent!

[Doug Ordunio]

I like the rather idealized romantic atmosphere of your piece. The only thing I'm uncertain about is the trained monkey. You could probably dispense with that, and it wouldn't matter a bit.

[Poetic Beauty]

You definitely do not want to fall asleep driving! that is one of the grand things about dreams. they take us on many wonderful adventures and they are completely free.

Sweet poem. very good.

[Norma M Sutton]

Oh I like this one. And this stanza is my favorite kind of dream

I might dream of lazy days
Laying under a weeping willow tree
After taking a long dip in a cool
Stream on a hot summer day

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

Sweet poem. The trained monkey had me think about
how out of place they were in the concrete jungles
of man. This was very calming work.
