John Lawless Poet Free verse

on the edge of sleep

Whimsy flowers
On the edge of sleep
Mirage-like echoes
Singing off key
Arias
Challenge
The closing curtain
Whispers
Hidden 
In the dusk
Of dreams
Dance
In the vapory mist
Of sleep’s
Oasis.

Lin Lane May 5, 2024 at 6:36 AM Each line is written with a purpose, building to the fruition of your title. "In the vapory mist Of sleep’s Oasis." Dynamic is the word I'd use as long as it doesn't disturb you on the edge of falling asleep. John Lawless May 5, 2024 at 7:06 PM I prefer wholly organic, cage free, free range comments released from the captivity of the "box" Lin Lane May 5, 2024 at 7:35 AM An afterthought... I sometimes wonder if you think my comments on your poetry would be better left inside the box.
