Poem: "Dreams of Ink"
This is today's freebie, inspired by a prompt from dialecticdreamer. It belongs to the series Path of the Paladins.
"Dreams of Ink"
-- a decastich
It is a dream that does not fade,
When dawn's light overtakes the glade,
Of thorns and blossoms, berries too,
All decked about in morning dew.
Already he's bestowed his heart,
And not upon the God of Art,
So why this vision that won't go?
It's nettlesome, it breaks the flow,
And Johan knows not what to think.
He sleeps again, and dreams of ink.

Notes:
A decastich is any poem of exactly 10 lines. It is often free verse, but it can use rhyme/meter, as this one does.

Thank you!
Yay! I'm glad you liked it. I finished the sequel too.

Change made, but it was spelled "decastitch" in the reference originally cited.
