An Inverse Poem

Dream or Not?

I woke up,

I talked to my friend,

There was a misunderstanding,

I confided in the man of my dreams,

I felt better,

I went to bed.

    I like how both “woke up” and “man of my dreams” contrast with the awake vs sleeping readings of this. The simplicity of the words means that you can let it sink in without being overwhelmed by trying to match lines up when re-reading. Nice!

    I think I like it better backwards!

  • I like this. I can't pinpoint but there is something deeper to it.
