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.

Man In The Hallway

My heart does thump


my skin does burn


When the shadow of a man stands


his presence adjourned


1 second he’s there


10 minutes he’s not


On the nights that the air


is stagnant and hot



Bending ‘round corners


lurking in hallways


These dreams of mine


They’re just a phase


A hint of a attention


I shouldn’t pay


To the being that haunts me before every day
