Writer's Island visual prompt
Something Forgotten
Oh gracious me,
Yes I know it
Was but a dream
I had been asked
To perform
And it had been a while
Busy unable to practice
There I was on stage
Ready for the performance
Though unprepared
I realized I had forgotten
Something very important
No pants!
It was the same as another
Reoccurring dream
I came to class as usual
On time no problem
As I looked around the room
I realized everyone else
Had before them
On their desks
Blue books!
Somehow I did not know
The test would be today

I have nightmares like that! I thought you were going to say you'd left your 'cello behind!
I have had those dreams in the past. Finally figured out they were about being afraid of exposing myself to anyone's scrutiny. Once I figured that out, the dreams stopped.
Love your poem Annell, creative urges are often quelled by that fear of exposure.

PS. Glad to know you as well.
The test dream ~ we've all had it! The first words that came to mind looking at the lovely lady standing at water's edge .... 'fools rush in where angels fear to tread.'
I love these dreams, and the visual prompt is really beautiful. Wow! I saw clouds from up above yesterday, Annell. Pretty awesome!
Beautiful and witty, Annelle!
Gave me a laugh. I can honestly say I've never had that kind of dream. Thank goodness :)
Not easy, this business of being vulnerable!
Gorgeous! Wish I'd written it!
ha does everyone have that pants dream...and the test dream ack...that is the one i have far more often....
Clever ending, Annell. The picture left me pretty uninspired...and I think you are right. It IS a cello. I wrote as if it were a BASS. Too late to change my poem now. LOL.
If you have the body of an angel, why would you need pants?!
wow.
sharp eyes,
aptly stated facts.
enjoyed the imagery.
I agree wholeheartedly with Stafford and second his comment!
