Mother Goose Meets Salvador Dali

Below within the dwelling deep, while tumbling in fitful sleep; the rumble-hum of furnace keep; the mouse and Cat Lord Bo-peep. Fluttering lids and labored breath below within the dwelling deep, furious dreams do waken sleep attributes of childhood’s bequeath. Horrors rise on temporal tides a stew of insanity bides. Below within the dwelling deep, the cat fiddle-screeches life’s weep. Dali cobbles retinal creeps the mind dittles and cows moo oon, The nightmares ending none too soon below within the dwelling deep.

Dali is horror, having trouble combining ideology with Mother Goose. Have you read Bruno Bettelheim's Uses of Enchantment - discussion of how fairy tales allow children to come to terms with fear, esp of abandonment, death, injury, monsters, witches, death of a parent, poverty, hunger etc. Facinating....

This is SO cool. Dali definitely has a dreamlike quality to his work. I love his stuff, this poem was almost as surreal as one of his paintings. Darn good- going to faves.
