POEM STARTER

Compose a poem about false awakenings.

A false awakening is when you wake up within your own dream. Those who experience false awakenings do not realise they’ve woken up inside another dream.

Awake?

I open my eyes, in bed with my wife The sun shining bright I get out of bed, thankful for life Ready to start the day right I open my eyes, sad and alone Haunted by dreams pre-divorce With heavy heart, I rise with a groan My life filled with remorse I open my eyes, running late for school Confused by my strange dream. Is some trickster playing me like a fool? Are things actually like they seem? I open my eyes, in bed with my wife Filled with confusion and surprise I wonder which of these ‘dreams’ is my real life. And do I dare open my eyes?
