Whilst Dead Sunflowers Floated

I woke in a sweat, was it a dream
A heron and a girl near a stream
Whilst dead sunflowers floated
My mind drug induced coated
Have my thoughts reached their extreme

Yeow! Don't like those dreams that wake us up in a sweat...sometimes I try to fall back asleep to finish them....dummy me. Would want a happy ending, where the flowers became water lilies. Nicely done, James! Best to you and yours, Mikki

Gee, James, Barbara G. just posted a limerick about a flower in a dream too. I must be missing a contest. Really enjoyed this write! Spent the whole day fishing and getting sunburnt. Had a blast at the pier. Men there thought they could "teach" me to fish. Shame on them! I showed them a thing or two. Love you, Carolyn
