Jerry Brotherton Poet Rhyme

I Created a Poem

I created a poem last night in my sleep
can’t remember the words right now
It was a true masterpiece, powerful and deep
that brought peace to the world somehow

But now that the morning sunshine has filled my eyes
and washed away that perfect rhyme
There’s nothing left for me now but to hope and pray
that I’ll write it again sometime

It’s like that tree in Brazil filled with red spiders
whose web held the cure for cancer
But they were all killed from destroying the forest
we forever lost that answer

Maybe that was just a dream too, I don’t recall
So forget about what I said
There’re so many thoughts rolling around in my mind
It’s hard to keep them straight in my head

John Lawless February 1, 2024 at 6:33 AM Ah, the tumbleweeds of thought blowing through the REM sleep desert leaving disappearing footprints.....and there's never a pad of paper nearby.... Jerry Brotherton February 1, 2024 at 5:37 PM Even your comments are so poetic, my friend. Love your comment.

I Am Anaya January 31, 2024 at 12:40 PM Wonderfully rhymed ABAB. Afraid to say, most of what think wasn't real is. I try not to second guess myself. Great subject matter inserted throughout your creation, I think it's brilliant the way you do that! I AM Jerry Brotherton February 1, 2024 at 5:29 PM Thanks so much for your wonderful words. Have a blessed day I AM Anaya.
