Twisted Plots

She found a hero in the book's shadowy schemes, The detective who could enter the realm of dreams She turned the pages of her imagination As the book's surreal plot unfolded It was in this dreamlike dimension The fiend would be found, In slumber his dreams would give him away And her hero would be crowned Then the plot took another twist And her conclusions became hazy She realized her assumptions were unreal The lines became blurred in this imaginary zone She finally reached the last chapter in this twisted ethereal tale, She stared at the book in a trancelike state; Her hero was the villain she had come to hate! 5-28-2021 Writing Prompt - Dreamlike - Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France
