they say it’s a movie, a game, or a show...
whether they’re right, though, I’ll never know
phantasms scare me, frighten me sick—
like nightmares that feature that devil Old Nick
everything’s moving
flickering
shimmering
pushing and shoving
dickering
glimmering
something is simmering
phantasmagoric phantasmagoria
surely the opposite thing to euphoria
fantastic phantoms
oozing and gory
...ah...
aarrgghh
...ugh...
somebody wake me up!
wake me up now!
I can’t think
I can’t breathe
I can’t help myself
ow!
who’s there?
who is that?
mom, is that you?
mom, it is you,
and daddy, too,
I’m so glad...
a bad dream...
but I’m okay now
Laurie's word this week
at the Imaginary Garden with Real Toads is phantasmagoric.
Of course, Laurie always offers words we use every day.

Not. Definitely not, but she did provide the definition and,
after that, she left us to deal with our own nightmares.

Kay, check your link at Toads. it goes to the poem you did for Izy's poem the other day, not to this one.
Sorry about the nightmares, but this poem rocks, Kay! Thanks for participating.
(Just to let you know, the wrong link is under the prompt).
Sounds like a frightening dream indeed...going back into the past like that.
Interesting...you capture the uncomfortable nightmare tone in this. :)
I love "surely the opposite thing to euphoria". Cracked me up!
What fun you had (and gave us) with this one! :)
Aw, what a cute ending, Kay!
I love the euphoric rhyme :)
There's so much movement, everything's glittering and shimmering. I think I've had the same dream when I had high fever as a kid!
You do this so well. I've been meaning to do some writing...
BTW How are you after your fall? I'm been forgetting to ask!
I lie the swing and sway of the moment! The voice is--despite the content--total fun. I identified completely!
I feel the nightmare..the struggle to awaken and the security all is well...
