An excellent entry in this tectrartys poetry contest, who knows what sparks a nightmare, which aren't uncommon among people, I think perhaps from unfortunate life experiences, well done Melissa, good luck, blessings Roy

I hope you are well. I am concerned. R u ok?
Where I often found you at FS it seems, perhaps, like you have gone elsewhere
Before this piece your last entry was June 30

As for this piece I find my dreams are a cornucopia of this and that and whatever, but very rarely find spooks and goblins.
Be well.

Very nicely done, with the word count that is, of course, just right. Also, deep and meaningful, insightful and thought-provoking. Finally, what a perfect picture you found to accentuate this creative poem! Great job. xoxo

    You're welcome! I've joined Gypsy's Japanese Poetry Club this summer, and you're right: some of the forms are quite challenging! But I've been enjoying it enormously! xoxo

I liked this tetractys poem for the contest. You got the syllable count correct, and I liked your message. That last line was a great take on nightmares. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Excellent Tectractys poem with a good syllable count and connection between lines. Lovely presentation and word imagery. I believe there are two feelings and two choices: love or fear.

well done,

gypsy

So true and I quite agee. Sometimes they bring an important message of change, like Jacob Marley and the ghosts of Christmas' past, present, and future. A wonderful poem in this most difficult form. Sending you my best today as always, dear Melissa, and blessings abundant to you all.
