The Land of Nod

Set a TIMER and
Slip into the SILKY
Folds of sleep
VIVID dreams of a
Blue HIPPO goddess
Floating by on a lily pad
Acolytes dance
Weird songs fill the air
Daytime naps —
What a delight!

Georg’ann

Ghosts HAUNT these woods,
feel their presence HOVER
in evergreen branches.
Visit cave of old man HIPPO.
Read his story on a plaque.
Later, at the house, strange noise.
Startled hearts thump.
