Carolyn Devonshire Poet Haiku

Eager For Fresh Air

eager for fresh air

sandman’s stardust fades
nightmares flee through open panes –
breeze ushers in sun

squinting, I wake up
memories of terror gone –
bright, glorious day

wrens on window ledge
nature’s plentitude finds me –
eager for fresh air



*It’s the escape from nightmares and the joy found in nature that make me dash out of bed.
Entry for Ed Ebbs’ “What Makes You Wake Up Each and Every Day” contest.

Joyce Johnson October 25, 2011 at 8:26 PM Do you really have nightmares? I always have pleasant dreams even when things are not so good in my life. Glad you are home. Thanks for your comments on my Cheater, Cheater poem. it was just that a contest entry. Did not pertain to anyone I know. I have trouble right now writing anything but sad poetry. Love, Joyce
