Where does logic go to in the night?

poetry, Thinkings and poems, villanelle 1 Minute

Where  do dreams  go while we are awake?
Where does logic go to in the night?
Why does laughter make our body shake?

Why do  men like eating home made cake?
Why  do little children want to bite?
Where  do dreams go while we are awake?

Why is Windermere not Winderlake?
Why do we have wars and want to fight?
Why does laughter make our body shake?

Why do people not read William Blake?
Why is it so rare to have insight
Where  do dreams go while we are awake?

Why do we so often feel like fakes?
Why do people like to see the Light
Why does laughter make our body shake?

Oh, to see an eagle high in flight
Oh, to see  a friend   and love the sight
Where  do dreams  go while we are awake?
Why does laughter make our body shake?

  1. I am sorry.I thought I’d replied,Janet.I believe we dream all the time but they get pushed away when we are busy.Maybe your mind is adjusting to this new virus and you are already suffering physically
    so you must be working overtime mentally;I hope you will soon feel better and enjoy the Spring
    What a strange time we live in.Good Night,Katherine

    1. Thank you, Katherine. These really are strange times, and they’re made worse than necessary by leaders like Trump who deny science. We are paying dearly now for his election. Take care, Katherine. Stay home. Stay safe.

  2. I really like this poem, Katherine. I have very active dreams most nights. When I wake up, I’m exhausted! I wonder where dreams go while we’re awake?

    Please stay safe and well, my friend.
