I dreamed a dream when I was eight
At the movies, it was late
I got my ticket for the movie
The theater was awf’ly groovy
I sat down—the second row
The silver screen had an eerie glow
There were no previews, just a jolt
Across the screen-- a lightning bolt
It looked like some strange arcade game
A creepy one—Zoma the name
A room full of reflecting glass
And mats on the floor—just like gym class
Just then a door bursts open wide
A praying mantis comes inside
He’s big and green and slimy too
I’m scared! I don’t know what to do!
And soon there were a hundred more
I couldn’t flee, they blocked the door
But OH!—the matted floor broke up
From one to the next I could leap and jump
I jumped right through a trap-door ceiling
Had I been a car, my tires were peeling
I ran for life away from there
But one green mantis caught my hair
I screamed so loud it could not hear
My weapon was so quickly clear
I yelled a lot and ran real fast
Hoping this would cease to last
Through purple doors I dashed away
Into a bedroom, where I’d stay
I was quite glad I’d been so deft
When I calmed down, nothing was left
Remaining sleep without a dream
But I woke in a sweaty steam
I can’t forget that crazy scene
That sucked me in the movie screen

I've got to say,
that's quite a dream
If it were mine,
I'm sure I'd scream
From ugly bugs
I'd rather run
I don't like bugs
They are no fun!

Your imagery was great. The theme was intriguing. I always feel this way when I go to an IMAX production. It draws me deep into the subject. Gret write.

Great rhythym to this poem. Such a fun, easy one to read, it just flowed right off the screen. I enjoyed it. Dreams can be rather scary. Very cute!

Oh my! Not exactly fun. I must say, however, I've never known the terror of being pursued by bugs... and I live on a farm...
Nice job!
