Notice of absence from arqios
Physically present, the rest may be somewhere altogether…
Physically present, the rest may be somewhere altogether…
Upon the sea where dreams are hiding,
The fishermen’s boat goes a-sailing,
Stars above the night are leading,
The lullaby of moon’s gentle lowing.
Wynken nods as waves keep onward,
Blynken’s eyes with sleep are weaving,
Nod with dreams, skies ever-wand’ring,
In slumber’s realm, sparkly sprites enchanting,
Rest ‘til dawn when harbour lights are nearing.

Ah Cryptic you have captured the feel of sleep and that peaceful hour. Your careful wording of Wynken with waves, Blynken with eyes the again followed by weaving and lastly Nod with dreams followed by wandering is a careful and masterful weaving ot thought and sound. Congratulations
Thanks Soren, I was wondering how many kids have challenges getting to sleep after all their excitement at Halloween.
Good write A.
Thanks S 👍🏻
Okay, that riddle rattled my pitiful sense of intelligence more than it should have. Ah, but I do love this one! Awesome! Excellently rendered with superb imagery and subtly haunting poignancy, oh, but I love it!
I always sleep with one eye open .. just in case .. plus I like to know what's going on @ all times .. N
I know the feeling and can’t remember now exactly when I shifted from being a deep sleeper. Thanks N! 👍🏻
Tremendous work.
Very clever write arqios.

This was so clever! And I can hear it being sung as a lullaby.
Thanks kindly 🙏🏻
