A thirsty dream

sorenbarrett

 I bumped my head upon a dream and poems fell right out
The words of dust did scream and with thirst began to shout
With no meter to drink, the outer rhyme began to peel
and from word`s dry ink time made a meal
Eating letters one by one, with the sauce of emotion
allegory served on a bun dipped in a free verse or rhymed potion
Bones of metaphor on the plate, minutes spat out sprouting seeds
and from garbage it did create a garden full of poetic weeds

          My dreams are a little like rugby but then they are full of scum as well,. I love Spoonerisms as well.

            Let both grow up together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

              Thanks for the read my friend yes that is what I am afraid of in burning all these weeds we will contribute to global warming and air pollution

                Mother earth will deal with that.
                The only one we can choke is ourselves,!

                Certainly made me thirsty, Soren.............................................

                Many times here (present company excepted) I feel words could be weeded or better placed or re arranged or not appear at all..........................🙃

                          Ah yes, the plight of the writer, expressed so eloquently. I especially like the poems falling out of a dream; a large part of mine originate in slumber. Nice.

                          • sorenbarrett

                            Thanks Dan your words are most appreciated and valued. Dreams are a good source of inspiration.

                            Weeds are only flowers in the wrong place but your words are all in the right place soren, good 'planting'.

                              It doesn't matter if you write in prose or meter, as long a there is meaning to what you write.
                              I am a rhyme person myself, but sometimes I enjoy other form of writing.
                              I feel what your thoughts.👍
