Lost In a Dream

in restless sleep
  my eyes fluttered
    candles sputtered
      lost in a dream

enchanted night
  stars were agleam
    caught a moonbeam
      in my bare hands

lambent glitter
  beyond belief
    in bright gold leaf
      oh, how it shone

then came the morn
  I woke alone
    my fate bemoaned
      at break of dawn

I stretched and sighed
  stifled a yawn
    window shades drawn
      and I slept on

A newbie, who has done very well on here, since joining.. may you long continue to write great poetry.. This was not really a contest, it was an opportunity to showcase your first poem and I am glad you entered. Thank you.

Welcome to the Soup, Jenna. I hope you find it a welcoming community in which to thrive! I enjoyed your poem in its gently sloping form, meter and interlaced rhyme scheme. The theme was perfect too, as I read it right after waking up! A lovely first entry ~ John

Beautifully written, Jenna, I love this rhyme scheme; it's similar to a Terza Rima except written in quatrains instead of tercets. Nicely done. Welcome to Poetry Soup. John
