Oh the wonders of nature, they always refresh the mind, heighten the senses, and give new lease to worn out quills, think I may need a Sabbatical too...
Missed your poetic offerings

... can see it all... the arcing limbs of knotted trees... the night suddenly punctuated by the appearance of a full moon it's face only slightly obscured through a lamb's-tail whisp of cloud that fleets across it... the howl of a lone wolf on the hilltop, calling to its pack... Great Judean use of imagery and syntax... And, is it me or are the tenses slipping in and out - perhaps like that waking-dream state of past and present, adding to the surreality. Your smooth choice of descriptions conjures well that "clumsiness and clunkiness" that accompanies sleep deprivation - especially love:



Conjuring up the primitive apparatus

Of psychic machinery in the stars above



... And gotta luv those molecule-expanding itineraries; I've a few of those scheduled myself, so perhaps our paths will cross! :))



Yes indeedy... I like that you seem to view sleep not as a source of refreshment in itself, but as an energy-field to progress your life through dream planning and programming. In which case, either waking or asleep, their Wide Screen appearance is invigorating.



Perhaps this is how Jerry Bruckheimer started out! LOL Kiera Kate xx

PS... Think it would be a GREAT one to recite... along with Expectation, which seems to me a sister write.

Enjoy and come back full of tranquility and fantastic memories. Excellent offering as always.

excellent, taut poem on that familiar topic. hope you write about those forests and seashores when you come back. have a great time, Dawn

"Script the scenery of emotional consequence." A very descriptive write, fellow poet. Enjoyed!

George

well done

Enjoy your vacation...get some sleep..lol Lady J

Marvelous statement.

Hi Gypsy Jude. I hope you're having a jubilee of artful days and nights full as moons and pregnant banquets. This is the theme for the past few days...sleep and dreaming... for some here at the den. For me, lately dreams are jumbled but I continued to travel to exotic foreign shores. I wish I could speak the language.

Have fun and come back ready to sprout the album of glorious plays you encountered.
Love,
Susan

Enjoy your vacation. Envy thy name is mine. PLB&G for caring and sharing. <Mikii>

The dreamscapes that often occur in the bright of day when we allow our creative and imaginative minds relax and open to the possibilities are often either exhilarating or frightening but all the same I think they need to be listened to. This is an intense write and one to be read and reread as to ponder your ideas. Glad to see you back Jude.

Enjoyable when truthful journeys avail themselves -{Thank you} -Good soul <>Ted

I try once to count sheep vaulting over a fence, and just when I was getting on Morpheus arms...a damn wolf came and the stampede wake me up!!!
