Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

He Was Just a Deadhead: Mystic

In a scary nightmare, I woke in a mystical place
where my old Singer floated next to your face
You wore that smirk that always made me twitch
so I used that old machine, and I began to stitch
your lips together to prevent you from lying
and your eye lids shut to keep you from spying

Were my shears too sharp? Was it I who beheaded you?
OOPS! Not a slipsy. It was something I meant to do.
I was able to find a bobbin,  and a needle to thread
and my seams will assure that you remain dead.
I used your hair for hemming black fabric scraps
and fashioned a sort of shroud without holes or flaps

I'll not take a chance that this nightmare might return
so I will set you ablaze; your ashes sealed in an urn.
If this is only a dream, then I've not committed a sin,
but thinking about your schemes and that hidious grin,
I confess I am considering it to be a very cunning idea.
No more nightmares about a deadhead will I need to fear


*With apologies for being a bit freaky, but the photo took control.*

Russell Sivey September 17, 2017 at 5:05 PM HA! You have surely written a magnificently frightening write but filled with such humor as well! Yes this picture is very strange, and your poem accentuates this strangeness! I really enjoyed reading this hilarious poem this afternoon! What a beautifully written masterful piece, Great Work!! Lin Lane September 17, 2017 at 7:54 PM It's a scary picture, but the humor made it a titch less so. Thanks as ever for your grand comments, Russell.
