Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

My Muse Marches Out Lines of Poems

Poems tiptoe into my dreams and fill up all my sleeping space
Thoughts of mythical creatures, maybe a wonderful brilliant thing
They are swirling and twirling, each in own unique place.
Without any thought of my well-being, they banter and they brace.
Throwing out a plethora of inane ideas, without any obvious taste or grace.
Subliminal faerie clips, 
float into my lavish fantastical dreams on an angel’s wing.
Unaware, I slumber on, my breathing at a quiet, gentle, meditative pace.
Knowing not what my early morning poetry will savagely or lovingly bring.

Poetry seizes me in my sleep, and holds me hostage even after I am awake.
Unaware while I am astral traveling, 
but morbidly aware when I leap out of bed.
Her metaphors and nuances wind around my dendrites, 
without a quiver or a quake.

Unbeknownst to my quieted essence, as I travel around moonlight’s silver lake.
Quickly aware, when I begin throwing out ideas and full passages 
the minute I awake.
My imagination is spouting phrases and rhymes that seem curiously well-read. 
Thoughts slither and sneak around me in teasing ways, 
like the skin of a sleek snake.
My muse marches out lines of poems, 
knowing my therapeutic need to be so fed.

Mark Weismantel February 21, 2019 at 8:50 PM i enjoyed the poem Caren and wish my dreams were half that good! i usually wind up dreaming about things i want to forget like bills and work. LOL! Caren Krutsinger February 21, 2019 at 9:08 PM I know those dreams, and they are not fantastic for you, Mark. Tonight say "I want the best dream you can give me," and specifically tell your spirit guide angels. You may be in for a treat!
