Poetic Asides Poetic Bloomings 28-2 Remix (from free verse to kyrielle)

 Dream World

 

If dreams came true, when asked to speak,

I would be naked, chased by bears

Or aliens, and be too weak.

I’m glad my dreams do not come true.

 

My kids, so young, would need my care.

And this would make no sense because

They would be old and have no hair.

I’m glad my dreams do not come true.

  

I’d kiss old boyfriends who were nice,

But Hubby wouldn’t like that much.

And I’d be overrun with mice.

I’m glad my dreams do not come true.

 

I’d wander in my old high school.

I’d search for clean bathrooms or class.

I’d get lost and feel like a fool.

I’m glad my dreams do not come true.

 

I’d have a house that wouldn’t stop,

And some floors would be falling through.

I would leap from a mountain top.

I’m glad my dreams do not come true.

 

I’d see old friends which would be great,

Sometimes I’d be able to fly.

But I’ll say, and not hesitate,

I’m glad my dreams do not come true.
