Snow In A Comatose Hourglass

Winter's time for sand, To lay down frost— white night dress Walking on color; Unconscious insomnia— Chase warm nightmares all this time. *It's about sleep-walking*

What a coincidence i was writing for hourglass too just yesterday. I think. And I absolutely love how creatively you’ve written about sleep walking, theres a song i love too called “ comatose” and i love using that in poems too.” white night dress Walking on color;” This stood out for me the most! Beautiful . Pleasure always reading you

Chasing warm nightmares doesn't sound like fun. I guess on cold nights, they come more to the surface. You've expressed this 'sleep-walking' moment, so well with your words. My best to you, Paige. Hugs, Brandy

Paige, your Tanka is magnificent! There's nothing quite like the feeling of a sunny and warm dream on a bitterly cold night.

I've never tried a tanka before. Nothing like a sunny warm dream on a freezing cold night

Th cold isn't my favorite season either, lol. It has its moments though; of magic or fitting my mood. :)
