Poem a Day (1) Dreams

Dreams

Imposters of a foreign kind
Deadly to others
Dangerous to you

Slithering through your head
Picking at your brain
Injecting their sweet poison

Trickling between eyelids
Moving too fast to see
Pictures of a different kind

Inept at making sense
Soaking into reality
Fantasy is no opponent

Poised on your tongue
Ready to jump forward
Held back with fear

Dreams

Imposters of a foreign kind
Deadly to others
Dangerous to you

  1. This is so cool! I love your wordage, especially the "slithering" and "trickling" and all the other words that implied the dreams moving sneakily through your brain :)

    And I looove the repetition at the end! :)

  3. So I was going to go through and copy down all the lines that I like but as I finished highlighting and pasting them into the comments box I realized I'd basically posted the entire poem...

    It was really good, I liked it!

    The dreams and "Impostors of a foreign kind
    Deadly to others
    Dangerous to you" repetition was cool and a very nice full circle ending.

    The entire poem has wonderful wordage and it reminds me of water.

    Brava!
