Comment from Shirley E Kennedy

Excellent

Iguess this is your visit to the dark side. Lol.
This is such a visually rich presentation that the words are just the icing on the cake.
Free style poetry seems to suit your creative mind as well.
I enjoyed the visual imagery and cleverly formatted style.

Excellent poem. I have not been sleeping well lately with some of the personal problems I have had but at least I do not have nightmares. Keep up the great writing.

I have bad dreams now and then, but they are all weird. I have no idea where they come from. Must be what I eat before bed. =} This is very well done. Rox

Hey Treischel +another one hit for uncleJohn! Wonderful imagery kicking towards a conclusion~ impressive content. An honest approach of a topic that is somewhat a tabbo for some. The length of "Nightmare"~ I found to be just right... coming across as one not not with overkill. As such as well~ considering taking away the question mark in line 10 may be for you... understood from line 8. O yeah~ maybe one day an extension... a classic on a roll like I have found with some of my poems. Thanks for sharing. All the best.

Well-expressed as many individuals may echo your sentiments upon reading a negative aspect of slumber;
Good alliteration which eerily describes tormented dreams.
Excellent!

Whew, what a scary write. One would believe you are incurring grotesque dreams (all purple and black ... like bruises). Good that you noted you're sleeping fine though. Well done.

Hi Tom,
The imagery in this one is like a lightning bolt. - Sure glad its not a real nightmare. Nicely penned with the fear taking the ride to another level.
Well penned as always my friend.
Thanks for sharing it.
Maureen

So thankful for your notes my friend, glad to know you are sleeping well. I know this feeling, waking up soaked, and being so glad when it ends in the realization that it was not real...or was it???
thank you

Thank you Karen. Fortunately, it doesn't happen too often, just contemplating what it would be like if they did.
