DM Babbit Poet Blank verse

Day and Night

The day is long
 the night short
filled with restless dreams
 crisscrossing imagery
 of fictional and unfamiliar parties
trying hard to encumber life
 by restrictive containments
 anxious in the tossing and turning,
fearful wakening
 only to find
 it is reality.

Daniel Turner June 19, 2021 at 11:20 AM Are you saying life is a nightmare, D.M.? I will admit, there are times when I too wonder. A pleasure to read you today, my friend. DM Babbit June 22, 2021 at 10:13 AM Nope, not a nightmare but certainly drawing the restless nature of reality. Thanks for reading and commenting.
