Katie's little poem

Katie and I swapped some poems in the autumn of 2003. Here is one of my favourites. She describes herself almost as she was the first time I ever met her; The first line is the first line of an ethereal Rimbaud poem which katie "borrowed" ...


Reality being too prickly for my famous character
I got lost in a dream

And wandered and floated and drifted around
Seamlessly, scene to scene

I choose to live in a reverie
Where my dreams and memories
Dance
and
Twirl
and
Shimmer
and
Sparkle

This is what nourishes me.
