As I’ve written in my poem, “I Sleep Under Words”
I sleep under words
cocooned in down
I dream with ideas
formed by other minds
read by eyes
felt in bones

Hello Connection Maven! Came across your blog and I think I’ll stick around for more! 🙂

Thank you.
Hi, Cheryl–I found out about you through the Burgiss Glen Facebook page. You shared your poem, Snake, with me. Since April is poetry month, I wondered if I could share it on my FB page with the proper attribution, of course. Please let me know how you want the attribution to read.
Hey, Elisabeth, thank you and yes, please do share with a link back to the post on this blog.
