Glendower Poems | Examples

Dogs Dream

An elephant wore pink pyjamas
As he feasted on ripened bananas
He said don't touch the grapes
Nor the big juicy dates
They belong to Peruvian llamas

So I wonder on into my dreams
And nothing is quite what it seems
Theres a blue speckled frog
In a deep purple bog
Where an antelope wears denim jeans

Bemused by an owl with no wings
I watch as he does wierd things
He reads for an hour
Of Owen Glendower
Then Land Of My Fathers he sings

I notice a snake in a tree
He is watching the owl just like me
With unmoving calm
He causes alarm
Heart beating like thunder I flee

I wake with a start in the dark
And hear the song of a lark
My basket is warm
As I see in the dawn
And I give up a good morning bark.
