Last Night I Dreamt

Last night I dreamt I stood in the pounding rain So no one could see my pain My pillow became wet with tears at night my smile was back with mornings light My feelings hidden deep within Only I know where my thoughts have been The worry kept going round in my head Each night when I went to bed They would swim in the ocean deep While I drown within my sleep Round and round like a merry-go-round I could not get my feet on the ground It could not go on at this pace It had my thoughts all over the place I had to take control Or over the edge I would go serious 7/27/13

Phyllis, all you have to do is put somewhere in this poem the phrase "last night I dreamt" and title it that way and date the poem and put "serious" on the bottom and you would have an entry for Francine's contest. I think it would work. Well done.

I know I gave you a 7 on this one and you only got a 4. I think something is wrong.
