The dream I had
Gave me a fright
It was my dad
And he was all right
I lived in his house
The one he left to me
I felt like a mouse
So little and free
Roaming around
Searching for some new life
Feeling I'm about to drown
Then standing on a knife
I almost awoke
And to my surprise
I began to choke
He was about to arise
But then I saw
He's not suppose to be here
He was all gnawed
My eyes were filled with fear
My daddy is dead
What is going on?
He has no head
I can't wait for dawn
Then I weighed a ton
And couldn't see my feet
But I still began to run
I needed to defeat
My eyes were blinded
Here came the sun
I became all winded
Up in something like twine
I tried to cry
But all I could do was whine
I tried to scream
But nothing came out
Only this dream
It popped out of my mouth
Onto the to ground
I still tried to shout
But then I began to frown
This wasn’t just a dream
It was my wish
For me to gleam
I saw him one last time
So I stood and smiled
Then I collapsed while trying to climb
The phone that I dialed
Sent me home to my bed
Then one last tear
I began to shed
My eyes started to open
My mouth began to yawn
It really did happen
Because I finally reached the dawn

Just to tell you "open and happen" doesn't rhyme and you're meter is off through the whole poem. Work on this one a bit more!

your poem was very good, but I'm not sure I understand it. Is it really about a dream, or is it deeper than that?

This was a good poem.  However,  I have to take Master's stand point.  If I didn't I wouldn't be helping you.  The meter was thrown off there and in a few other places in the writing.  Just go back over the meter and fix the two or three lines that are wrong and you'll have yourself a very creative poem.  You are dreaming in this one right?

Thanks for the advice guys, but I'm not even a real poet, so I have NO idea what a meter is. But I DID have a weird dream about my father(who is deceased) the night before I wrote this. I don't know where I was going with one. I just sat down after I woke up and wrote. I'm just gonna leave it the way it. But thanks everyone!

Weird!! Glad to know that you finally know what "meter" is....uh could you define it for me? My guess is rhyming pattern but I'm not sure at all. Do tell!

Love and hugs,

Thank you again!   A meter is something along the lines of a recurrent rhythmical pattern. Like a rhyming scheme.
