On my way to a fun night,
car breaks down, an unknown site,
glimpse up at the dim moonlight,
heartbeat marches to pure fright.
Blood pressure does jumping jacks,
views that surround are pitch black,
equilibrium, out of wack,
hear my own inner voice crack.
Goosebumps come out for a peek,
cold sweat does not drip, it leaks,
both knees buckle, head feels weak,
strong paralysis feels bleak.
Both palms become water streams,
step from the car, hear loud screams.
Gasp for air but inhale steam,
pull myself out from this dream.
Open eyes then gasp for air,
chills raise follicles of hair,
pant away all tense despair,
go to sleep without a care.
– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy

Really amazing dream sequence. Permit me to echo back my favorite of your marvelous verses. Really brilliant imagery here:

I get it! We live in a small town and for certain things, it’s the only choice, or when I really don’t want to go to multiple stores.

So nice to hear. Thanks so much, my friend.💕
Even though your poem was called ‘Nightmare’, I got quickly carried away into it, and the suspense was so realistically expressed that I was on the edge of my seat reading your words. I was glad to realise in the end that it had been a nightmare. Wonderful piece of writing, Grace. Xx 💕

Glad you enjoyed. Thank you so much.💕
I hate when my kids or spouse take 25 minutes to tell me a dream. Drives me nuts. I am going to tell them they can only tell me in poetry form.
💕🤣🤣🤣💕 Sounds like a great idea. I may just do the same.💕

Thanks so much.💕
