Dream After-Taste

like a spoon
too deep in the pan,
dreams
stir up old hurts
old fears,
burnt scum
now floating
flavours the day

    Well written, and so true!!

  • whoops, just hit ‘report’ your comment as inappropriate instead of ‘reply’. Thank you, Melissa, for your lovely words of encouragement.

    For a dream drawing that I find amazing see Bryan Collin’s ‘When Jenny Sleeps’

    Oh dear… I wish you dreams that make your day… Beautifully written… I often hesitate to favorite someone’s writing, but I guess if you post a writing you do not mind the favorites?

  • just returned to red bubble after many months (or longer?). thank you izzybeth for your comment, you’ve put a great big smile on my face (despite the time delay between you writing it and me reading it)
