You'd be proud of me. So, I had a nightmare last night that was so scary I screamed irl, woke hubby up (but not myself) he said it was the loudest I have ever screamed in my sleep (and as you know that's saying something). Anyway I sat with the dream for a while just now, felt all the resulting feelings, and then channeled those feelings into a poem. And, I consciously made the decision to use an established form rather than just free-versing it, because I didn't want the dream to take over the poem. It needed to be expressed yet still reigned in. I love poetry. So much! I'm working with established forms a lot lately; learning so much from my fellow poets in our fb group, and improving my craft.
