Surreal Truth Poem by Bonnie Shipman

Surreal Truth



Right past the mildewed art on the wall,
My heartbeats stain the downbeat of a mellow song
While the crickets catch laryngitis in this cold concrete fortress
And that dream you were telling me plays over and over
on the screen at the end of the hall

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
When creativity seems lost, heartbeats will find a rhythm, when song seems lost, the dream of beautiful things remains, so creating never fully disappears.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM

This is really beautiful, very surreal. It doesn't completely make sense though- maybe sort out what you want to say in a poem before you publish it? This is thought-provoking though, thanks for sharing :)
