Poetry Dice Entry: Night Sweats
.jpg)
.......the dice were shaken, and fell, and beneath them lay a poem:
Hot sweat burning inside,
And I'm a child trying to get out.
Trapped in a closet on the fifth floor.
Happy or sad, I don't know.
Dense smoke, so I can't see.
I open toward the outside and crawl,
But the direction isn't clear.
The sign's been spun.
And still I crawl across the floor,
knowing my shell is too heavy.
The weight grows unbearable,
pushing the air from my lungs.
Tremors and terrors rise in the dark.
Eerily taunting me in pale gray light.
And there I expire; or do I sleep?
Still pinned to the floor.
Consciousness tangos from the room,
and strange mirages dance.
Fluttering like a million butterflies,
Streams of neon beams batter my brain.
And I awake, drenched in sweat.
......just a dream.

Thank you for this opportunity to challenge my mind!
Steem is such a cool platform for crowd fueled artistic energy!! Can't do it alone? Do it with someone else! Two heads are better than one, and 3000 are the best! Have a look around and you can find something fun as well!

Thanks for your entry to the PDC3K this week! This is really good! Challenging your mind has paid off, I see. :-) Cheers and thanks again for playing along.
I felt the horror and dread as I imagined it to be a reality I have to say I was relieved to figure at the end it was all a dream :)
Really good poem, and a very different mood... tense and frightening. I loved this line: "Consciousness tangos from the room,
and strange mirages dance." Good luck! 😃
