A slight,
Wakeful thought
Betrays sleep.
Jilts
My cup of dreams,
And spills them
Into morning.
Breaks faith
That I might hold you
For just one more
Moment.

Sorry the dreams got spilled. Perhaps they’ll be replaced with waking dreams.

The short, clipped lines emphasize the overall feel of this outstanding poem. The form feels like a jilting cup of coffee being spilled and being awake in the wee small hours. That last line, of course, is a show-stopper. This is such a well crafted bit of art, my friend!

A slight–Jilt–Breaks faith, the choice of the first lines says a lot in this poem. Deeply relatable!

Thanks! Of course, I started out with some other entire plan. But after a bit, I sort of thought I should probably just stop while I was ahead, LOL!

Always a viable option! The other is to keep going until you hit a dead end or realize you have more than one poem! 🙂

The boat has to go through some furious stormy weather. What a disturbing dream can this be?
