Resting

REST             for the contest A Dream

Upon the crimson brocade spread

With eyes shut lightly 

Rests' her head

The day now spent, it fades away

Where dreams emerge, then go astray 



She lies there like a Patron Saint 

A portrait, peaceful,

Proud and quaint 

Struggles cannot leave their trace

Upon this sleeping beauties face



Peaceful as on death's edge perched

So faint of breathe

In quiet berth

I dare not wake her 'till the morn

When once again, She shall be born

This is beautiful, and nothing like what I write. So, I'm curious about why you entered Cooperative Therapy in your contest. Or, perhaps I did it while perched on death's peaceful edge? Anyway, I am so glad to have visited your world, wandering in this vast labyrinth of frequent limericks.

Dear Jerry, I thought she was on "death's edge" as well. I think you have created a new form here and I love the way you came up with a mixture of rhyme and free verse. Beautifully serene. Congratulations on your win! Love, Carolyn
