The Nightmare of MorningI awoke of a sudden into morning's moist light and arose from a dreamstate of most furious fright. Quickly lowering myself 'pon the cold, bitter boards, my memory released dull dissension of chords. Through my chilled rooms I stumbled, full commencing to weep. Sorrow's nightmare revealed, bare and blinded with sleep, as a black apparition galloped thrice through the square before darkening's bloom into morning's despair. Waiting patient and still, but with quickening breath, to give chase for the pleasure of assisting my death. Though the night was outrunning nigh the morning's advance, 'twas mere haunting of daybreak bidding, doleful, this dance.  Claire |

You've described it perfectly, Claire. 'twas mere haunting of daybreak bidding, doleful, this dance.' I wish I had your talent of expression. Every word chosen is so full of meaning and feeling. Well done. Denise |
