NIGHT ERRORS

Yesterday I was in gypsy Spain

with hot haciendas,

under azure glare

passions aflame.

 

Today I am in a sukh

buying killims and thobes

 courtesy of Marrakesh.

 

Meanwhile it has come on to rain

in the home counties and it's

uncertain where my dreams lie,

under which shifting sky,

 

but with pillow talk

I walk the walk,

and now I know there are no pigeons

in Spain or Marrakesh

at least not depressed queues of them

 

so I enjoy this precarious

vicarious feast in my waking view

as my vivid dreams dispel

and i've come over all English

and all is moderately well.

elP - don't get carried away now - it's all in a dream! As a musician I was lucky to get free travel at one time .
I hope you get what you wish for.

Good grief, I hope, by career to afford views such as these. This is enough to start the hunger, anew.

Thanks so much Cynthia for liking this one - it was not making any serious claims !

David, funny you should say that, Monkeys on Monday - so no falling asleep there! A good night, by the way. It was a silly ode; but sometimes you don't need heavy!

Paul, great that I have a fan for my barminess, and great that it's you. Aythangyou.

Oh Ray, you play-on-wordster, you. I love the cleverness of night errors / night terrors. And I really like the bonkersness of this very much.

And aythangyow,
