A Ha'Sonnet Will Do
I dreamt of lies
laughing away
cryptic replies
pointed my way
A mystery
was shipped to me
while sleep reigned deep

Inspired by the song “Ride Captain Ride” by The Blues Image

There comes a time
to go to bed
when there’s a rhyme
stuck in my head
that feels it must
be free, though just
somehow not now

Thanks to Susi Bocks at I Write Her for pointing out today, 21 March, is World Poetry Day in her “Celebrate Your Passion” post! I didn’t realize that when I posted my poem above. Why not take the time today to discover new poets, read poetry you love, or write something just because!
An accident
of winning and
then being sent
to La La Land
where dreams come true
for me and you
while sleep is deep
