Ship of dreams set sail
On what strange shores will you land?
Raise Ambien toasts
To our voyage of slumber
Once, we needed only waves

This photo brought to mind the Heart song "Dreamboat Annie." Anyone old enough to remember that one?

I totally enjoyed this one. What form is this exactly? Thanks
My mamasita told me about that group 'Heart'.
Mine is 'Melatonin' and boy those dreams!
Love your verse!
True words.Who knows what we would dream in our slumber...depends on our brain waves.Wonderful Tanka.
Ambien toasts! BwaawHa! Love it.
lynnaima:The "Ship of Dreams" poem is a tanka. I wrote it for Experimenting with Poetry Forms (you can find the link at the bottom of the poem). They are similar to Haikus except there are 7 lines. The form (in syllables) is 5-7-5-7-7. That was my first one. I found it more difficult than a haiku. Thanks for reading!
Ambien toasts? I like butter on my toast, thank you.
Loved this, great imagery both in your words and on the shore.
