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.

A Lucid Nightmare

It is said, If you wake within a dream You should never ask What time it is. For if you do, It angers them And bad things occur. A lucid nightmare, Unsettled you’ll wake If you are lucky.

Again huge fan loved the poem my only critique is that concerning character development there seems to be little to none. Who is this them? Why are they so angry?etc. I think if you filled them out just a little bit your characters would be easier to invest in and even more intriguing. I get that you like to use mystery as a means to intrigue and I love this technique. However, perhaps you are perhaps over using this technique just a bit. Either way beautiful poem. Am looking forward to reading the rest of your stuff 😊✌🏽❤️
