With Fear

I was having a dream about a sweet flower, When I became aware of the sound of water; All around my bed waves were crashing, I swam to a chair pulling up my legs to cower. In the water was a large silver fish splashing, It had teeth- quite sharp that it kept flashing; I stayed on the chair all night terrified- with fear, At dawn, the water left and my legs were aching. All day, I thought about the dream to make it clear, That fish sure wanted me and it came so near, I think my dream is a "fear" for a real-life monster; Tonight, I will stay in the chair, legs up- with fear. _______________________ February 25, 2016 Poetry/Rubaiyat /non-metrical/With Fear Copyright Protected, ID 16-761-661-0 All Rights Reserved.
