Wednesday Poetry Prompts: 453

For today’s prompt, write a dream poem. I love to write these every so often. Sometimes the dream takes center stage (and it can get kind of surreal). Other times, I incorporate pieces of a dream or dreams into a larger poem. If you don’t dream, write a poem about your lack of dreams or imagine what a dream might be like.

Here’s my attempt at a Dream Poem:

“in dreams”

i have trouble harnessing gravity,
often bouncing around like i’m
on the moon. & i fall. frequently.

it’s a little troubling how often
i’m walking along ledges without
railing. & then i fall. in love

with people i’ve met & people
i’ve never met. & then i fall
& kick my feet & eventually

i mostly seem to forget.
