Full Satisfaction

Oddly, I was reading one of my poems

And aggravated by it, filled with angst,

Annoyance, grumbling, distress,

Then, there was a line, “It’s only a poem.”

And, like that it was as if I woke up

From a dream.

I hope it has this effect on everyone who reads it.

My fairyland might be nightmares,

But I give the reader the satisfaction of it only being a dream.
