Discombobulation

The sun was just above the horizon. I thought, is the star rising or setting? I’ll just lie here awhile; keep an eye on It to see which way the fire is heading. It’s strange, I know I’m lying in my bed But I don’t remember retiring. Am I asleep and dreaming this instead? This dreadful state is mind boggling. It’s like being awake in a nightmare And all that I see is not what it seems To be. I know one thing for sure, I’m scared. Egad! I hope I’m not dead in this dream. I looked again at the sun. It was rising! It’s morn! I can hear the robins singing.

There is one word in this sonnet that just sticks out at me. "Egad!" I love this! I haven't heard that word in a while. Great job. Nate
