Poem of the Year, 2022

I have created, for those who waited…

Dead Poet’s Society will hopefully see you in 2023…

What you want more, an encore, totally unexpected, so nothing planned.

Oh, I could tell you the above poem was inspired by an afternoon snowfall that coincided with a nap, so the first and third lines wordplay between the snowfall and sleep, while the middle is just w alliteration observation.

Dream Memory Written Raw Through Coffee

Write from the brain
bean eases strain
remembering dream
something scream:

It’s there to learn
so burn, burn, burn.
(my interpretation, mixing The Doors’ Light  My Fire
with computer burning)

But what use will it be
stored in memory
nobody wants to know
three pages in a row?
(I do remember turning the page, and it having writing or symbols on it; and I think learning at least one page – the one I turned over onto I think, and the ‘tutor’ saying something like ‘See, you can do it if you try’)

Show don’t tell 
knowledge not hell
concentrate to read
mindfulness seed
if it sinks to bottom
reassuring totem.

Searching Wikipedia totem clarification
I find ‘tutelary’ guardian in the description.
Was that the main lesson of the dream/nightmare:
‘seeing/remembering’ my tutor for the first time?
But was I meant to remember what I read?
Or was it a test to see if I’d guess instead?

green: written in the present
blue: dream tutor
orange: dream me
