Once Upon a Poem

    Once upon a poem
      she soundly slept

    Moonlit waters flowing
      Sirius glowing...   

    Rooster chimed in
      unwelcome intruder

    Daylight summoned
      ~ the poem eludes her

What an amazing book it would be if we could write down all those poems left in dreamland.

I love this. Can even signify a poem you are holding onto, in your head, until you get home, but it falls flat.

Oh, isn't that the truth Gershon! She needs to sleep with a notepad and pen at her elbow and scrawl it in the dark, I did that for a while, lol!
