Notes About The Poem
At a special request, this is a sequel to my poem about two poeple meeting in a dream... if anyone wants a three-quel, I'm happy to oblige :-D :-D :-D
Connected In Their Dreams - Part 2
They met again in dreams last night
Amidst the hazy hue
Smiling and holding hands
On that bench made just for two...
As she spotted a pair of swans
Beneath the willows, she sighed.
She caught him smiling down at her
From the corner of her eye.
To fight off her self-consciousness
She grabbed his coat and ran.
He signalled her to give it back.
She called, "Catch it if you can!"
She flung it in the air.
There came a sudden gust.
His coat became a kite to wind
And flew over the bush!
Little Miss Mischief froze in shock
And he laughed at this change.
She thought it would frustrate him -
When it didn't, she found it strange.
Where on earth did that go?
They saw his coat bubble on the water.
She saw what he was thinking
And to run, she felt she ought to.
He was just too fast for her.
He wrapped one arm around her waist.
After catching her legs with the the other,
He headed back towards the lake in haste.
He warned, "You're gonna have to swim for it!"
As he pretended to chuck her in.
Through her squeals and laughter
She lied, "Wait! I can't swim!"
"I'm good at getting people back"
He chuckled out his mysterious gloat
While stretching out a branch he found
To catch his soggy coat.
She felt nervous and excited
And felt tempted to test the limits...
But her alarm rang through the dream
She wanted five more minutes!
