open window
call of the owl
in my dream

—Claudette Russell

About the author: I'm a retired high school English teacher and live with my husband Frank in Hampton, Connecticut. Over the years my humorous essays have been published as op-ed pieces in various newspapers. Recently I decided that I wanted to try a different type of writing and began writing poetry.

    Nicely done, Claudette. Sounds... often present clear images.

    naked limbs
    a perched owl's silhouette
    sunrise

    There are a lot of mythological and symbolic connotations, both good and bad, associated with owls. The physical sound of the owl in the dream leads the reader to question whether it is a good or bad omen. Very nicely done!

    I have a particular soft spot for haiku about dreams. This is wonder-filled, IMHO!

    ahh, dreams. i can't recall the passing of a night, nor day, i wasn't blessed with one; even two or more.
    many the times, i've spoken of being born of a dream...

    -

    midnight apparition--
    her movement t'wards
    my outreached arm

    -

    silence
    recalling her laughter
