Please, Hold My Dreams

There comes the time
when we should sleep
when climbs the rhyme
up from the deep
Not when we choose
to have our muse
disburse some verse

Ride Captain Ride

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

Bouncing Around

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!
