What did you do with your dreams this week? Was it difficult to translate your dreams into poetry? Were you surprised by what you came up with? Shocked? Frightened? Delighted?
Show off your results, or post a link to your results, in the comments section of this post!
Please read this page to find out how the Get Your Poem On and Read Write Prompt posts work.
Remember that work linked from this post is shared in precisely that spirit: sharing, as opposed to critiquing.

If you participate in a Read Write Prompt, we ask that you link back here in your posts, either with a link to Read Write Poem or by using the Read Write Poem badge in your post. Sidebar links are great but it helps others find the site when you link in every post you contribute to the project. It’s not a lot to ask in acknowledgment of the work everyone is doing in providing prompts for members to use.













My poem this week is titled:
“JUNGLE FANTASY“
Paul, how do you beat me every time??
Mysterious Shore, Who Gave You Such Complexity?
Alas, I didn’t manage to write to the prompt this week, but here’s a link to my weekly Torah poem nonetheless:

I hardly ever remember my dreams so I’ve done a dream related piece instead:

Hi Therese,
I haven’t contributed yet. Rather difficult, I thought and not much time. But who knows?! Hope the dentist went OK.
I have always experienced “wild & crazy” dreams and have collected a book full of them, so this prompt was fun! I just had to pick one that wasn’t to violent! Here it is:

Here is mine.
Living In The Eastern Woodlands. My poem is Dancing Differently Through My Dreams
Here’s mine, a dream based on a painting, The Dream, by Chagall.
This was a really great prompt and I found it pushed me out of my comfort zone as a poet. Thanks, Bruce!
“Perceptions from REM” is here:

Here’s a link to my post for this prompt — my first shot at participating — hope I’m somewhere in the right ball park. . . http://bit.ly/31Uy9m
Oops.If you click on the link I just submitted, you’ll wind up looking at a very scary Southern Black Widow photo I took awhile back. Here is the correct link to my post this morning: http://www.switchedatbirth.us/2009/11/readwritepoem.html Yikes. Sorry.

What’s easy, what’s hard? Using this not-mine computer and keyboard out of town – that’s hard!
Fragments. Yes. To a purpose? Just leave the binoculars at home!

OK, I finally managed to cobble something together. It is a short response to Rallentanda’s offering, in which she kindly gave me a supporting role!

Gah! Excuse the 3 entries by me….I forgot to log in the first time and I didn’t know a track back would post here. I’m really not that egotistical.

At least you didn’t post a link to a graphic photo of a black widow spider like I did by mistake!
Lucky for me, I had some persistent dreams this past week…
