The Tyrant Is Dead Poem by Richard Wlodarski

The Tyrant Is Dead

Rating: 5.0


I had a dream
In which you and I
Kissed the president
A final good-bye

We were holding hands
Walking on the beach
Sand in our toes
Kissing the still wind

He was experiencing
Such atrocious nightmares
Full moon beckoning
To werewolves within

We christened the moon
He woke soaked in blood
Cuba lay on the horizon
Satan's damned hell welcomed him home

Richard, that poem had a dream-like quality so gauzy and ethereal and then it slid eerily close to a nightmare and then ebbed away--like waves washing into the shore then ebbing away----well done! ! ! top scores and faved
