Tangle

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Michelle Payne, Tuesday, 11 Jan 2011, 22:00

(sort of free write poem - I suppose it's a first draft. Something to work on, anyway!)

Tangle
Last night we drifted off
to Dylan  on the radio
I awoke with a smile
all tangled up with you

Like a vine entwining
coiling, combining, with
out any start or end. I'm
all tangled up with you.

The rescue

Your beautiful poem reminded me of another one by Seamus Heaney, which I'm sure you know of, that I still love years after loving it for the first time.

The Rescue - Seamus Heaney

In drifts of sleep I came upon you.
Buried to your waist in snow.
You reached your arms out: I came to
Like water in a dream of thaw.

That is a wonderful poem, thanks for quoting it.

I think it may be a little more refined then my 5 minute effort!

I am considering writing a sequence of poems linked to sleep, it's been an idea I've had for a long time but have given little serious time to. Thus far....
