During the night I woke up with some poetry lines in mind,
Then fell asleep again and on waking later, what then did I find?
That I remembered having the words my mind was set upon,
But blow me down, it brassed me off to find that they'd all gone!

Mark, this surprises me after a career of daily recording of notes on the beat etc. We've all been to that dark place of memory wipeout. Torch, pen and jotter - and a more settled sleep....

This does happen, sometimes a whole poem and then in the morning - gone.
Thank you so much for your comment on my new poem. Much appreciated.

Thanks everyone, for the comments and the likes.
I've experienced similar dreamland inspirations - but usually
nearer to waking time when I forced myself up to make the notes that Ray mentions. This time, it was just too early
in the night and I preferred the attractions of sleep in a
comfy bed. Yeah...yeah...I know about the sacrifices that
art requires but this time the flesh was weaker than the spirit. Zzzzz. Besides, I got another poem out of it, so all
was not totally lost. ?
