“Sleep” by Salvador Dali
morning resents
sleepless nights
turning days into
wearying waste
times of starving
for poetic minds
ever hungry to
turn art of phrase
to create something
worthy of saying
but too weak to
find any words
save for
bitter invectives
to hurl against
coldhearted moons
Writer Lynne Sargent
Poetry Puttering by Pax & Company
Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte
"drink from the well of your self and begin again" ~charles bukowski
no dust here
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

M(EYE) Sleep is crucial. And so are M(EYE) Dreams.

Oh, I can so relate. The first four lines drew me into the poem immediately. (Now, I think I’ll take a nap!)

I’d love to hear the invectives! And I empathize completely about the role of sleep in a poet/writer’s world. The Dali painting ratchets the mood of the poem up and down by many aching notches. Thanks, Paul.

Stark and beautiful poetry. The picture of sleep as some sort of monster is a perfect accompaniment.
