Dream of a Swan

Written for:  Sunday Muse #249
The Dream by Lara Zankoul
I watch her sleep
careful not to ruffle
my feathers on this
uncomfortable comforter.
When I awake, back in
the lake that is my
home, I wonder
if I will remember
this strange dream.
I will wonder if
she really exists
somewhere other
than in my dreams.

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York. My goal is to create and share poetry with others who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.

    I enjoyed the twist of the swan dreaming. I read somewhere that animals dream based on eye movement and tremors.

    Okay, a ‘dream girl’ indeed!! Nice write, and I was surprised that you took the swan’s story to tell. Guess the girl never knew.
