Poet's Sleep

                                                                       Poet's Sleep, 1989, by Chang Houg Ahn     
Tess Kincaid prompts us to create words inspired by her picture of choice.  The Mag is a weekly challenge at Magpie Tales.  Join the fun or just enjoy the writings of others.  Either way you will not be disappointed.
As the poet sleeps
Skulls of discarded words
Gather and cry
"Why not me?"
As the poet sleeps
Words lay like stones
To be crafted
Into a poetical statue
As the poet sleeps
He dreams
People will read
Enjoy his words

As the poet wakes
He fears
There is nothing
But skulls and rocks.
