Well....this is the first poem I'm proud of. I have absolutely no knowledge in meter, the concept eludes me for the moment. I did what some label as 'syllabic meter' in efforts of taking my first steps. My dream is to write a sonnet *thinks happily to self.* Go ahead and crucify me guys! It'll help in the long run!
I dreamt of dreaming
I almost swear I dreamt of dreaming --
I saw myself through visions beaming,
And yes, it was the strangest feeling.
It may have been a sporadic doze,
In which outside clamor, interposed,
But into a deeper sleep, I dove.
In this dream I overhead a song,
With melodies, from worlds' beyond,
From a siren who laid near a pond.
My first instinct was to stop and stare,
And listen in, on the song she shared,
Until she flashed an ominous glare.
To this, I stumbled backwards in fright;
I struggled to flea, with all my might,
Until a refrain ended my plight.
By the end of her song, my limbs froze.
Her heavenly hymn sent me to doze,
And into a deeper sleep, I dove.
I saw myself lying in my bed.
A golden goddess perched by my head,
Who then announced, "You're 'ever in debt."
After this encounter, I awoke.
I thought to myself: A dream, I hope?
But on the wall I spotted a note
Which shared the words that goddess spoke.
I dreamt of dreaming
I almost swear I dreamt of dreaming --
I saw myself through visions beaming,
And yes, it was the strangest feeling.
It may have been a sporadic doze,
In which outside clamor, interposed,
But into a deeper sleep, I dove.
In this dream I overhead a song,
With melodies, from worlds' beyond,
From a siren who laid near a pond.
My first instinct was to stop and stare,
And listen in, on the song she shared,
Until she flashed an ominous glare.
To this, I stumbled backwards in fright;
I struggled to flea, with all my might,
Until a refrain ended my plight.
By the end of her song, my limbs froze.
Her heavenly hymn sent me to doze,
And into a deeper sleep, I dove.
I saw myself lying in my bed.
A golden goddess perched by my head,
Who then announced, "You're 'ever in debt."
After this encounter, I awoke.
I thought to myself: A dream, I hope?
But on the wall I spotted a note
Which shared the words that goddess spoke.
I prefer to be as forgettable as possible.
