Dream Debut, A Home Pome Poem by Glen Kappy

Dream Debut, A Home Pome

Rating: 5.0


It was bound to happen—
my granddaughter Nova
appearing in my dreams.

In this one I tell her
of Superman lore
till nighttime
when we stand outside.

Her hoisted on to my left hip
others standing there besides
I get to point him out

first far away and small
trailing sparks like a comet
over building silhouettes

distant and tall
then closer, larger
till he flies right over(!)

two armfuls of muppet animals
secure in his embrace—
all very much alive(!)
a smile on every face.

A beautiful dream- - The people we love most, we also want to be near.Your grand daughter Nova seems to be in your subconscious and you want to tell her stories about heroes and supermen.Even in your dream her presence is so pleasing.
