What Dreams Are Made Of

The land of sleep, a place where dreams are true, Is full of goblins, witches, wizards, elves, With fairies, dragons, giants, unicorns, Enchanted castles, dungeons, lakes and woods. From monsters swimming in the deepest seas, To dripping charnel houses, spooks and ghosts, They vanish when we open up our eyes, Just like she leaves my arms. For Kim’s What Dreams Are Made Of contest, 28th July

Winner for sure.Enjoyed reading this eve.Good luck in the contest.Thanks for stopping by.Cocklebur is a seed from a weed.It is kind of oblong with stickers all over it.It gets stuck to dogs hair, human's clothing.That is the way that its seeds get from one place to another.A woman once had a bunch of them, spray painted them gray glued them together in the shape of a Poodle.I think that she sold them at arts and crafts fairs.They are painful if one gets them on them and has to pull them off.Sara
