I can relate to this. I don’t know about in dreams but I should carry a notebook with me and write down any inspirations I have before they are forgotten.

Thank you Dennis! I try to carry one with me most of the time–but this time I really did dream it and as is wont with dreams–forgot it

It happens! nice share!

Ah, very lovely and I too can relate!

Yes, they probably were. My most beautiful words are quick to flee.

Thank you Ruby Hawk, KittyK and erwinkennythomas!

All my poems emanate during morning dreams
like its a gift of morning wood
sharpen it like a pencil
and emerge it as poetry.

I think we have all had a similar experience. We are never quite sure of what we lost.

I know that feeling. I often forget words that I had really thought would work so well in a poem.

I just want to thank you all for reading and commenting. Greatly appreciated!

Great poem, I often wake from a dream to find I have no writing material and by the time I find it I have forgotten what it was I wanted to write down

A great poem Audrey and yes I also can relate to this one. Maybe we should have on hand a note pad and pen.
Take care.

Oh my how you hit the nail on the head with this short and simple piece. How many times do we awake, only to scratch our heads and wonder what we just bore witness to. You wrote an extremely riveting and thought provoking poem.

nice poem

Thank you all for reading and commenting. Much appreciated.

Lovely

Thank you Vinaya!
