De (aka WhimsyGizmo) is hosting Quadrilles at dVerse Poets Pub and has asked for a poem about “bother” what bothers us, what do we find bothersome? What gets us hot and bothered? Hmmm … as I poke my muse repeatedly until she finally gets tired of being bothered and manages to convey some sort of inspiration.
Dreams of Late — a quadrille
At night of late
dark dreams have come
frightening and bothersome
dark shapes I cannot see
swoop, harass and bother me
moonless skies
throughout the night
colors fading from my sight
searching for the moon’s bright light
I wake to find it’s all illusion
word count 44
Til next time ~Stay Wild Moonchild ~JP
I’ve always loved this song by ‘Heart’ …. your quadrille is the perfect companion.

One of my favorite quotes:
“I am that which every nightmare fears, a single star in the darkness” 🙂
