Kenneth Cheney Poet Sonnet

Nightmares Are Dreams

He screams follow your dreams! Nightmares are dreams.
Awake in a cold sweat, try to forget;
The monsters gathering a head of steam.
He screams follow your dreams! Nightmares are dreams.
His mind awash with reams of scary schemes;
Dreaming of frightening images, yet
He screams follow your dreams! Nightmares are dreams.
Awake in a cold sweat, try to forget;

The monsters gathering a head of steam.
He screams follow your dreams! Nightmares are dreams.
His mind awash with reams of scary schemes;
Dreaming of frightening images, yet
Awake in a cold sweat, try to forget;
And give your nightmares no aid and abet.

Gershon Wolf June 7, 2021 at 3:46 PM I've found that insomnia is the best cure for nightmares. lol. :) gw Kenneth Cheney June 8, 2021 at 6:56 AM Insomnia the cure for nightmares, but what's the cure for daytime drowsies. The cure may be worse than the disease. Still I think you were correct in your diagnosis. Thanks for being ever thoughtful. Cheers!

Joseph P. DiMino June 7, 2021 at 6:45 AM Really emotive, Kenneth -- and brave delving into some greater mysteries of life. We can get nowhere by ourselves.... But, together, no nightmare is too great to meet head-on. The outcome is where faith begins, and God has opportunity to show His Mercy and Love. I have had more than a few of my own. I'm with you in prayer. Blessings my friend! Kenneth Cheney June 8, 2021 at 6:45 AM Thank you Joe and many blessings to you as well.
