thundering moments
nature shares stormy assaults
echoes fall quiet
“There are many who don’t wish to sleep for fear of nightmares. Sadly, there are many who don’t wish to wake for the same fear.”
― Dandelions: The Disappearance of Annabelle Fancher

nightmares
laugh in darkness
ghosts tango in moonlight
scrawled footprints on vaulted ceilings
bad dreams
monsters
daytime drama
shadows menace sunlight
upon walls like spidery webs
daymares
You’re at BrewNSpew Cafe, where friends meet
This site is dedicated to J. Kirk Richards of Sanford, Florida and to Sharon Asselin of San Francisco. The former saved my life a couple of times and the latter gave me poetry.
Influences are Emily Dickinson, James Wright, Basho, Daisaku Ikeda, and Li Po. My favorite ice cream is Chunky Monkey and I like staying in the van while others revel on long walks at the beach.
Please support your fellow bloggers
Here’s what is going on at the cafe. On Mondays, I publish a post titled BrewNSpew Cafe. A weekly feature is I share a word and/or image for your interpretation. I have included my own creation addressing the prompt.
Please join our talented community and challenge yourselves by contributing your own creation using the week by week featured word, image or both. There are no restrictions, except please and thank you for limiting a written post to 300 words or fewer.
Link your blog to mine with a Pingback. To do a Pingback: Copy the URL (the HTTPS:// address of my post) for the current week’s Challenge and paste it into your post. You may also place a copy of the URL of your post in the comments of the current week’s Challenge post.
The prompt will close 5 days from the date of my post. I will post a week after week wrap-up of posts shared by our kindred bloggers.

I hate nightmares and daymares too. I’m so fortunate that I rarely remember my dreams.
Have a fabulous day and week, Eugenia. ♥

Sandee, I have vivid dreams that seem to last forever and when I wake up, I can’t remember the dream. Perhaps, it’s better that way!? 😬

It is being held hostage again, just like my phone has been. I have working aimlessly with help desk, as I was lock out my own account. I have screen shots and been in communication with the help desk. This is sad, my work and now my account. I don’t have the energy right now. Thanks for letting me now.
