My imaginary life

This entry is for Writers Island.

sleeping on sheets with 600 thread count
cold air blasting from a box
I chase the soft clouds in my mind
running and skipping
for hours and hours
weathering a hard twist in the road
ending up falling into my imaginary life
all sorrows forgotten
as I woke to find myself still dreaming

Can't you tell it's about the end of summer? The feeling of summer - sometimes it feels like a dream.

Thank you all for reading.

Do read my ode to insomnia. This poem goes perfectly with that. It is the previous post to the Imaginary one.

I like the idea of chasing clouds, then the falling part of your poem. Lovely!

I admit, there are days when I myself couldn't distinguish from the imagination and the present. Enjoyed this :)

"sleeping...dreaming"

evocative mix of details, "soft" and "hard".

This is terrific! And I especially love the line "ending up falling into my imaginary life" -- nice feeling of movement and surrealism mixed with reality.

Wow -- that was a fascinating dreamscape. I was swept through to the end with ease -- well written!

So glad you're an islander!
