2/23/2021

Author Colleen Chesebro offers a weekly poetry prompt and invites participants to summon creative energies and write a few lines -- in this case five lines of 5-7-5-7-7 syllables. Her prompt this week is DREAMS.

My response is below. I hope you like it and also hope you'll join in the exercise. 💗

Hi,
I like the way you play with the waking moments of coming out of a dream. It keeps the desire burning and changes the countenance of the dreamer for hours.
Very well done, Gwen.

The sky rich with stars,
She rides her Palamino
Her golden tresses
Whisper softly in her ear
This night's moments of delight...
