Day 25

Prompt - poem based on aisling, a poetic form that developed in Ireland. Aisling recounts a dream or vision featuring a woman who represents the land or country on/in which the poet lives and who speaks to the poet about it.  Today`s challenge is to write a poem that recounts a dream or vision, and in which a woman appears who represents or reflects the area in which you live in.  Perhaps she will be the Madonna of Traffic Lights or the Mysterious Spirit of Bus Stops. Or maybe you will be addressed by the Lost Lady of the Stony Coves.

Whatever form your dream visitor takes enjoy this challenge.

Happy writing!

Bright shining orb in the night sky

smiling face looking down on me

she is full of beauty and love

speaking so soft and gently

I feel calmed and at peace

as she drift of her nightly way

knowing she is over me

til the dawn of a new day

I ask if she dances with the stars?

she laughs and replies, "Oh I do!"

the starts twinkled all around her

"could I dance with the stars too?"

we danced across the countryside

through fields and over a tall ridge

only stopping by the river`s edge 

wishing farewell by the bridge
