A vision

sorenbarrett

Out of slumber I awaken
A dream so unsettling
By a vision taken
my poems, crumbling

Dry words dissolving into dust
lifted in bibulous clouds by the wind
where with moldy scent of must
no polished rust erosion could rescind

Cobwebbed sites on which I'd written
to plastic novelic prose fallen prey
Poetry's beauty book smitten
splintered shadows of another day

    Out of slumber sounds like a very bad dream, just as well it's just that. 🌹

            A poet’s nightmare after such a dream. Enough to put you in a panic. Nicely penned Soren.

              Seems writing Nation Drugged has left you morose, like me. Good work just the same.
