Hi Mneme
I love dreams, they're so surreal and silly. The second verse really captures the madness. On the awake side of things, i hope you cheer up soon. Don't forget about those caramel slices. They are usually a good quick fix!

Troosha,
thanks for the suggestion... I hadn't thought of it but it would work.

Great line... in fact, it could be the title you're looking for.

Have a go and see if you can do it. Ask again if you get stuck.

PS, I will happily create links for you which you can copy and paste
elsewhere. I did this for Terry's poems a while back and will be updating his for him soon.

Mneme, to do a link using the Blogit toolbar:
- Find the post.
- Copy either 'permalink' or 'Go to [post title]' from its comments page or the full http address from your browser bar.
- Go to where you want to create the link.
- Paste it in.
- Simple as that, but then you can also edit by carrying on following the rest of the instructions
- Right-click on the link.
- Click on 'Set link properties'.
- Where it says 'Link text' just write in what it is you want it to say.
- If you want it to open in a new window, go to where it says 'target' and use the drop-down menu to select 'target'.
- Then click OK. Link is created.
I just used that set of instructions to create the link below which will open in a new window. Some PCs and operating systems won't allow you to do it, but it's worth a try.

Muser, thank you so much.
if you haven't seen this writer yet, Tonyzonit posts a sonnet a day. When I get time I do try to play around with the older language as well but am not very good yet. Practice makes perfect. BTW, back a page or two I've posted one or two more.

Dave,
Thank you.. I'd read Tony for a while and when you wrote your first one for him, I thought I'd try (29 September). Haven't quite worked out how to create a link yet but I will eventually. I've mentioned the two of you once or twice in connection with these.. I have only a very short collection so far.

Mneme, it works very well indeed. Were you inspired by Tony? I've certainly become reinvigorated by this form (and others) since he's been around.
