GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN R.I.P.
I wrote the first poem and Beryl changed a few words in the second poem, what's your thoughts on co-operation between poets ? any how read them and let me know John



Night dreams.

The night draws its curtain across the end of day

My weary body lays down to rest and dream away

As my eyes close, descends the silent mystery of sleep

That awakens fantasy dreams take shape and leap

Mr. Sandman opened the door to let me through

Happily here I can do anything I want to do

No barriers to block entry to this wonder world

Where adventurous places of joy unfurled

Freed at last from reality’s constraints of the day

No hindrances just freedom of movement at play

These dreams so real is like being in wonderland

It’s a pity they won’t last when they are so grand

But morning comes Mr. Sandman shuts the door

A new day begins as my feet hit the stone cold floor!



Night dreams.

The night draws its curtain across the end of the day

Time to lay my weary body down to rest and dream away

My eyes close and silence descends as I slide into sleep

And then from my mind the fantasy of dreams leap

Mr. Sandman opens up the door for me to go through

I pass through his door to do any thing I want to do

No barriers to block my entry to this wonder world

As these wondrous exciting places of joy unfurled

Freed from the reality of daily constraint

No disabilities to bear just freedom of movement

These dreams are so real it’s like being in wonderland

But dreams can't be going on like this so grand

Morning as come round to shut Mr. Sandman's door

And the reality of a new day as my feet hit the cold floor
 
Cooperation is always a bonus - both versions are great in my opinion.
 
I agree with Kate. Ann proof reads my poems and provides me with a better way of expressing myself.
As an individual though, I see things through different eyes. The simple match stick is viewed differently
by each of us. The thing is, I like my poems, they are words that I want to hear in a way that I want to express them. If they give others pleasure, wonderful.
