Russell Sivey Poet Couplet

Reality of the Dream

In the dream world I love to go and fly
No matter what I do, I still go high

During the day I go in an airplane
Up in the air I go weirdly insane

I dream of an orange sky floating there
With purple clouds moving along somewhere

In the daylight hours the sky is a blue
It has clouds in quite a lovely white hue

The city streets are amassed with people
The dream contains so many parts feeble

The fields of concrete are opened to cars
Where in the evening you can’t see the stars

Zombies run around looking for some blood
In my dream I run avoiding the flood

There are many stores on the wide sidewalks
My days are made up with shopping and talks

The poles in my dream are purple with eyes
Nowhere I go do I ever despise

There are many wires going from each pole
In the daylight the sight is from the soul

Dreams are cloudy and certainly unreal
But the day is clear, real, and has appeal

Russell Sivey

Kim Van Breda May 14, 2013 at 8:50 AM Really enjoyed this interesting analogy-- perfect rhyming couplets of night and day. You described the color of the sky perfectly when on an aeroplane.
