And I'm Dreaming Poem by Shirley Harrison

I am my very own published book
well, aren't you?
I mean, there's

pages of grief
pages of sorrow
and loads about regret
oh yes and of course my exceptional happiness

lines including the old devil himself
and of angels too
sometimes
in some chapters
hell, I've even questioned evolution


well, haven't you?
Yes, my curiosity takes up quite a few lines

I've written about loyalty
of finding love
of losing love

I even have some written in virus verse and rhyme
I've written of the stars and the moon
my greatest happiness and of my darkest gloom

comedy too
just ask pinocchio



I've many chapters, and more to go
adding new pages along the road
why does she do it?
I hear you ask?

because...

I'm a hummingbird and I'm dreaming.
