Dreams That Haunt

Dreams That Haunt

I vaguely remember
With fevered contempt
In the month of November
The dreams that I dreamt
I saw goblins and griffins
Gargantuous visions
Malicious excisions
All feigning preempt
I saw phantoms and fairies
And fachen, and finfolk
Who came for my life
Or they made the attempt
And now I must wonder
Just who made the blunder
To free in my mind
Such creatures from under
The sky is now blackened
An ominous dew
From where do they come from
I haven't a clue

Tony my good friend, I believe you have an excellent taste for poetry and aesthetics, what sounds good to me should sound good to you. That is the standard with which I write every poem. I saved your comment for last because I love it, you truly grasped the beauty that I was going for in this poem, you have my utmost gratitude. Thank you for gracing my page brother!

Yo Curious this is a favorite for sure the way you flowed through this entire write and though it is dark and it could be me it had a fun feel to it like it could be a child's rhyme book. Hope that's not offensive but I have read a few darker childrens books that my kids have and I think its awesome. Great write CO.

Haha no offense taken my friend I appreciate the compliment and feedback...between us...there was more truth to this poem than I'd dare say but if people find the concept and actual flow of the poem fun then I'm all for it! Haha I appreciate you as the reader
Much love, Curious

"The Nightmare Before Christmas", I'm also very much influenced by the guy who wrote the musicals and poems for that movie which was in a sense a kids movie so maybe that's what you're hearing.

There's a book called there's a nightmare in my closet by Mercy Mayer it has three short stories in it and your write reminded me of that. All and all curious this is a really cool write for anyone to relate and enjoy.
