Oh Sandman - edited

Each night as into sleep I go,
Oh, may my true love’s face I see.
Oh, Sandman, please do not be slow.
Each night as into sleep I go,
dust my eyes with a magic glow.
In sweet dreams may I with him be.
Each night as into sleep I go,
Oh, may my true love’s face I see.

Each night as into sleep I go,
Oh, Sandman, please do not be slow.
Dust my eyes with a magic glow.
In sweet dreams may I with him be.
Oh, may my true love’s face I see
and slumber steal my grief from me.

Ria, I really like the way you wrote for this contest. You have made it easy for readers yet done an excellent job in Triolet form. Loved the lines "In sweet dreams may I with him be and slumber steal my grief from me". This is how any true love would feel like isn't it? Fantastic entry for the contest. Hugs. ~ Ani

Awesome Andrea, you know I lime the velvety feel about this one!! Its just magnificent to apprecite one, lime you who masters form! And can combine a storyline with it. Your soupmail to me is what I needed. I am cutting out anyone who dares to be negative with me me. They can hunt down someone to insult. Next step, blocking. As my Mom said to “meanies “ you can be replaced.” LoL In admiration, Pangie
