Imagination

I fell asleep in a wondrous glen
that seemed so full of sparkly things
Trees here, over there a unicorn what?
Yes a unicorn perched on a grassy rock

I looked at it, it too looked at me I say
how do you do? well ty. how do you?
Fine I reply. but why are you here?
I am your guide between our worlds

my name is pukka and first we go to
the high priest's hall where all is decided
So together they set off passing trees
shaped like crocks, elephants and birds 

Most would talk to them of scandalous
things but Pukka rushed him past then 
they were there. what do you think we
should do with the thief Simba they asked

Peg him out in the desert for one night
let the animal's decided his fate and so
that was what happened and entered
into the good book as the punishment

Right best be bustling along right fast
in a flash they were back in the glen
Simba rubbed  his eyes in disbelief 
Pukka had vanished all seem the same

Simba found some sparkly hairs call me if you need me

Hey hope you feeling ok.. Your poem is a delightful venture into the realms of dreams and fantasy. The wondrous glen you describe, filled with sparkly things and unexpected creatures like the unicorn, creates a vivid and enchanting backdrop. The conversation between the dreamer and Pukka, the guide between worlds, adds a layer of mystery and purpose to the dream. The journey to the high priest's hall, with trees taking various whimsical shapes, adds a touch of surrealism.
