Before I wake

Rate this Entry
I do write poetry on occasion, although I rarely post it. Here is one I posted here quite awhile ago.




Before I wake


A hollow noise
child's thudding heart
from a distant place
a child screams
nail driven into a fragile arm

I will not remember
I will not remember
the mist of a dream
blood rushes to my face
I can never forget

    I like this Kathy. Especially the repetition in the second stanza.

    Thank you, Virgil. I am pleased with the way it came out, which is unusual for me...I typically hate my work.
