Who Are Mr. Sleep And Mr. Dream?

Rating: 5.0


Who are Mr. Sleep and Mr. Dream? (An Experimental Sonnet)

Pray, who are Mr. Dream and Mr. Sleep
Who different look between a peep and peep?
Can dream a wizard be who, with his wand
Conjures up a weird and mystic land?
Or is he one of Aesop’s proxy cousins
sent to reel off fables in their dozens?
Or could he be a fortune-telling prophet
Pulling out our future from his pocket?

And who is Sleep? A tramp who’s lost his way -
Come to us within our minds to stay
And rest awhile awaiting dawn of day?
Or is he Peace - of Strife perchance born -
Or just a blank sheet from Void torn?
Or is he Death’s foetus still unborn?

Good questions you ask about dream and sleep in your perfectly rhyming rhythmic poem...and you answer them, yourself, most there...to me, they are like night 'watchmen' who compliment each other...good sleep good dream; bad sleep bad dream! ...10
