Nightmare

Contest: Chofu You

 

 

What is a nightmare?

Dark dream.

Intensity makes you scream!

Wake up breathing fast,

Don't fret.

You'll have another dream yet!

Author's Note

A chofu has a 5-2-7-5-2-7 syllable pattern. I thought I'd try it out!

i had never heard of chofu, it's not even in the dictionary!
yours is a great chofu, nice work. 👍
all these syllable limited poems (like haiku, tanka & chofu) are not easy, 'cos you have to be succinct as well as meaningful.

Congrats on your great winning poem. Well Done!

[John Stussy]

Never tried that style of poetry, most formatted stuff does not treat me well n my opinion. The style seems to lend itself to you quite easily though. Nightmares have become quite normal for me over the past two years, so this piece is easy for me to identify with a lesson I have learned. Again, well done.

This is amazing how in a structured form you can appear so free! I love the imagery you create and the vibrance of the words. Seems to race like a heartbeat! Excellent chofu!
