fact or fiction
Is it fact or merely fiction? Fact or Fiction explores the myths and beliefs we hold about what makes a good poem and the poetry rules that were made to be broken.
Leave Me Alone, I Said To Myself
So, where have you been? I’ve been waiting for you A voice asks me - from inside my head * I answered hesitantly What are you doing here? As I restlessly flail in my bed * I thought I told you to leave me alone My meds are meant to keep you away The voice turns to laughter and then says to me, there is no way to keep me at bay * What you don’t understand and refuse to admit Your control becomes mine when you sleep I, your subconscious - have a plan and agenda, and a limited time frame to keep * So just lay back and relax - I’ll let you know when I’m done Take a breath and relinquish your inhibitions Don’t worry, you won’t remember - it’ll be fun You should ignore any future premonitions * When the moon comes and peeks in your window The light shines on you - lost deep in dreams Nothing is at all what it looks like What you see isn’t always what it seems * But you’re wrong, I said, I always remember These dreams that I have when you come They are vivid and I relive them for hours They make me feel like I’m coming undone * The next thing I know I am awakening As the sun makes it’s way through the shade Remembering every event of my nightmare Reliving it - while wide awake

ABC x 2
Once in a blue moon, see what I did there, I find myself making life harder. Ok, maybe a little more regular than that. Apparently, I can't just write a poem, a normal poem, rhyming or not without causing extra effort and undue stress on myself. Am I a glutton for punishment? Probably.
