Poetry: Dreams

The prompt this last week was dreams – open to any interpretation of that. Even though I decide on the prompts, I had no idea what I was going to write about when I sat down to write this one. It’s not my best but at least I got something on the page.

What do you write about when you have writers block? Let me know in the comments.

Watching Bear twitch, 
listening to Bear squeak, 
waking to Bear barking…
in his sleep.  

Wondering, pondering, 
What he is dreaming of? 
Does he chase squirrels
Or scare off intruders? 
Does he climb trails
Or simply sniff 
Every. Single. Thing? 

If Bear dreams, what 
Separates him and me?
In the waking world 
To humanity, to dream is 
to have a goal,
Something to strive for.

Crovids, among others,
Use tools, 
Without being taught,
To achieve short-term
Goals
What is the difference
In them and me?

To dream, 
Perchance to live
