A Tale Of Two Dittys

Dreams are the touchstones of our character. - Thoreau

color blind

maligned and misaligned

it's not where you look but what you find

oft' times when i sleep

i drool

like some kind of slumbering fool

sewing with a needle that has two eyes and an empty spool

wearing the crown jewel

i wake up and my pillow's wet

that's how i know and don't forget

'tis when i've reached the deep maximum of forty winks

complete with rapid eye blinks

yes, that is what methinks

it doesn't take a bodkin to knit

if you can dream it, you mean it

setting sail

reading flat brail

trapped inside yet another spouting whale

slobbering a fairy tale

Author's Note

"Do not lose hold of your dreams or aspirations. For if you do, you may still exist but you have ceased to live." - Thoreau

Many of us fins funny and strange things while we sleep; I don' drool buti snore sometimes when my mouth is open! we also think or fantasize journeys that are very bizarre, but we are totally into them; and when we awaken, we are momentarily still there...taking time to realize reality....

Wow! Weird, eccentric and out of the ordinary dreams. I hope you were not swallowed by a spouting whale. Might have to send you the coast guard for rescue. Lol
You are no slumbering fool when you are using the right tool.
Keep dreaming those fairy tales; you might can write a novel.
Excellent sir Pete.
